Aray of light strikes the midpoint of one face of an equiangular crown glass prism (n=1.52) at an angle of incidence of 30.0.
(a.) find the angle of reflection at the first surface of the prism.
(b.) find the angle of refraction

Angle of reflection  at plane surface of prism = 30°

Explanation:

Angle of reflection = angle of incidence at any surface plane or curved .

Here angle of incidence at plane surface of prism = 30°

Angle of reflection  at plane surface of prism = 30°

If i be the angle of incidence and r be angle of refraction

sin i / sin r = refractive index

= 1.52

sin r = sin i / 1.52

=  sin 30 / 1.52

= .5 / 1.52

= .3289

r = 19.2 °

blue light is scattered in different directions by the tiny molecules of air. blue is scattered more than other colours because it has a shorter distance to travel which results in smaller waves. this is why we see a blue sky most of the time.
