##\gamma = \theta_1 - \theta_2## where do you get that from?
Thank!
Uh ... simple trig. ##\theta_1 = \theta_2 + \gamma##Callumnc1 said:##\gamma = \theta_1 - \theta_2## where do you get that from?
Aah thank @phinds! Brain must have been dead, I see that now :)phinds said:Uh ... simple trig. ##\theta_1 = \theta_2 + \gamma##
Light passing through a slab refers to the phenomenon of light traveling through a medium that has a certain thickness or depth, known as a slab. This can occur in various materials such as glass, water, or even air.
When light passes through a slab, it can either be transmitted, absorbed, or reflected. The behavior of light depends on the properties of the slab, such as its thickness, density, and refractive index.
A transparent slab allows light to pass through it without any significant change in direction or intensity. On the other hand, an opaque slab does not allow light to pass through at all, as it either absorbs or reflects all of the light that hits it.
The angle of incidence, which is the angle at which light hits the slab, plays a crucial role in determining how light behaves when passing through a slab. The angle of refraction, or the angle at which light exits the slab, is dependent on the angle of incidence and the refractive index of the slab.
Yes, light passing through a slab has many practical applications in various fields such as optics, telecommunications, and imaging. For example, lenses and prisms are made of slabs of glass that manipulate light to form images, and fiber optic cables use slabs of glass to transmit information through light signals.
