    Finding Refraction Angle and Wavelength in Water for Sodium Light?

    n=λ_0/λ λ=λ_0/n, water n=1.33, and λ_0=5893 λ=5893/1.33= 4431 A Is this correct?

    What is the Distance d in Snell's Law and the Pythagorean Theorem?

    In the following diagram find the distance d if a=4.0 mm, Θ=30° n_asinΘ_a=n_bsinΘ_b: snells law a^2+b^2=c^2: pythagorean theorem I think I got the angle to the problem correct. I am not sure if this is correct. Is this correct Θ_b=sin^-1(1sin30/1.52)?

    Finding Refraction Angle and Wavelength in Water for Sodium Light?

    A narrow beam of sodium light (λ=5893 A) is incident from air on a smooth surface water at θ=35°. Find the refraction angle and wavelength in water. n=λ_0/λ:wavelength of light in a material n_asinΘ_a=n_bsinΘ_b: snells law n=c/v:index of refraction I tried using the wavelength of light...
