1. Example: a 45-45-90 glass (n=1.50) prism is surrounded by water (n=1.33). Light is incident at a 23 angle, as shown in the diagram. What angle does the light make when it exits the prism? 45 ng=1.50 45 nw=1.33 i

2. Example: a 45-45-90 glass (n=1.50) prism is surrounded by water (n=1.33). Light is incident at a 23 angle, as shown in the diagram. What angle does the light make when it exits the prism? 45 ng=1.50 g 45 keep an extra digit to reduce roundoff error nw=1.33 i

3. Example: a 45-45-90 glass (n=1.50) prism is surrounded by water (n=1.33). Light is incident at a 23 angle, as shown in the diagram. What angle does the light make when it exits the prism? Trig… 45 90 - 20.27 = 69.73 20.27 65.27 180 - 69.73 - 45 = 65.27 69.73 45 90 - 65.27 = 24.73 nw=1.33 There are a variety of ways to get this. 23
