To find the angle of refraction through a triangular prism, you can use Snell's law, which relates the angle of incidence and the angle of refraction to the indices of refraction of the two media involved. In this case, the media are the air and the material of the prism.
Snell's Law states:
n₁ * sin(theta₁) = n₂ * sin(theta₂)
Where:
n₁ is the refractive index of the medium of incidence (air in this case).
n₂ is the refractive index of the material of the prism.
theta₁ is the angle of incidence.
theta₂ is the angle of refraction.
Before we find the angle of refraction, we need to know the refractive index of the material of the prism. However, you haven't provided that information. The refractive index of a material determines how much light is bent as it passes from one medium to another. Different materials have different refractive indices.
Once you have the value of the refractive index of the prism material, you can apply Snell's law to find the angle of refraction for each angle of incidence (30°, 35°, 40°, 45°, 50°, 55°, and 60°) one by one.
Let me know the refractive index of the prism material, and I'll help you calculate the angles of refraction.
