Refraction Index Calculation

The light beam propagates from the first medium with the refractive index n₁ into the second medium with the refractive index n₂.
The angles of incidence and refraction are θ₁ and θ₂ respectively.

The following data are known:
θ₁ = °.
n₂ =
θ₂ = °.
Find unknown n₁.
Enter your answer using 3 significant figures.

n₁ =

n1 sin θ1 = n2 sin θ2
n1 = n2 sin θ2 / sin θ1

Refraction Calculation: θ1 = ?

n1 =
n2 =
θ2 = °.
θ1 = °

n1 sin θ1 = n2 sin θ2
sin θ1 = n2/n1 sin θ2
θ1 = arcsin( n2/n1 sin θ2 )

Refraction Calculation: θ2 = ?

n1 =
n2 =
θ1 = °.
θ2 = °

n1 sin θ1 = n2 sin θ2
sin θ2 = n1/n2 sin θ1
θ2 = arcsin( n1/n2 sin θ1 )

At what angle?

 35. A narrow beam of white light enters a prism made of crown glass at a θ º incident angle, as shown in Figure. At what angle, θR, do the red (660 nm) components of the light emerge from the prism? 

Enter your answer in degrees using 3 significant figures.
