The discussion centers on whether two rays of light remain parallel after passing through a prism. It is established that the rays will remain parallel if they have the same wavelengths, as the incidence angles and refraction angles must be equal. The analysis is conducted from a geometrical optics perspective, specifically under the assumption of monochromatic light. The equation used in the discussion, sina/sinb=n2/n1, supports the conclusion regarding the relationship between angles and refractive indices.
PREREQUISITESStudents studying physics, particularly those focusing on optics, as well as educators and anyone interested in the behavior of light in prisms.
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.
