A light ray in air incident on an equilateral glass prism.
A light ray in air incident on an equilateral glass prism.
A monochromatic ray of light traveling in air is directed horizontally toward the slanted left face of a solid glass prism with an equilateral triangular cross section, as shown. The index of refraction of the glass is \(n = 1.5\), and the index of refraction of the surrounding air is \(n = 1.0\). Which of the following ray diagrams correctly represents the path of the light ray as it enters, passes through, and emerges from the prism?
