Light ray entering a stack of three parallel transparent media.
Light ray entering a stack of three parallel transparent media.
A ray of monochromatic light traveling in a transparent material with index of refraction \(n_1\) strikes the flat boundary of a parallel-sided slab with index of refraction \(n_2\) at an angle of incidence \(\theta_1\) relative to the normal. The light refracts into the middle slab, travels through it, and then enters a third parallel-sided slab with index of refraction \(n_3\). All boundaries between the media are parallel to one another. Which of the following expressions correctly gives the angle of refraction \(\theta_3\) in the third slab?
