Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

If a light ray travels from air to water at a 30-degree angle of incidence, calculate the angle of refraction in water (Refractive index of water = 1.33).

💡 Hint: Remember n stands for the refractive index!

Question 2

You have a prism that separates light into red, green, and blue. If the red light bends the least, explain why this occurs.

💡 Hint: Think about the color spectrum and wavelength!
