answer but it was marked incorrect.? Find an expression for, B, in terms of the prism's apex angle, a, and index of refraction, n.
I got sin^-1 (nsin(1/2)a).
Also, another question is:
A laboratory measurement finds that B = 51.5 for a prism that is shaped as an equilateral triangle. What is the prism's index of refraction?
Thanks.
