We are studying at the light just in the geometrical aspect. Can you give me a hist to solve it basing on it?blue_leaf77 said:They will remain parallel only if they have the same wavelengths.
Then I guess the lecture currently still assume monochromatic (single wavelength) case and of course your answer should be correct.zade70 said:We are studying at the light just in the geometrical aspect.
A prism is a transparent optical element with flat, polished surfaces that refract (bend) light. It is typically made of glass or plastic and has a triangular shape.
When light enters a prism, it is refracted (bent) at each of the two surfaces it encounters. The amount of refraction depends on the angle of incidence and the properties of the prism material. As the light passes through the prism, it is separated into its component colors (wavelengths) due to the different amounts of refraction for each color.
When light enters a prism, it is refracted (bent) at each of the two surfaces it encounters. The second refraction counteracts the first one, resulting in the rays of light emerging from the prism parallel to each other.
No, the rays of light are not always parallel after they come out of the prism. The amount of refraction and the angle of emergence can vary depending on the properties of the prism and the angle of incidence of the light.
The angle of emergence of the rays after they come out of the prism is determined by the properties of the prism material and the angle of incidence of the light. It can also be affected by the shape and orientation of the prism.
