The discussion revolves around the behavior of light rays as they pass through a prism, specifically whether they remain parallel after exiting the prism. The subject area is optics, focusing on the principles of refraction and the conditions affecting light propagation through a medium.
Some participants have offered insights regarding the necessity of equal wavelengths for the rays to remain parallel, while others affirm that the discussion is focused on the geometric interpretation of light. Multiple perspectives on the assumptions regarding wavelength and light behavior are being explored.
There is an underlying assumption that the discussion pertains to a monochromatic case, which may influence the conclusions drawn about the parallelism of the rays.
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.
