Problem P. 5007. (February 2018)

P. 5007. A laser beam is incident on a prism of vertex angle of \(\displaystyle 70^\circ\). The angle of incidence of the beam is the same as the angle at which the ray emerges from the prism. The laser beam is deflected from its original direction by an angle of \(\displaystyle 50^\circ\).

What is the refractive index of the material of the prism?

Sorry, the solution is available only in Hungarian. Google translation

Megoldás. \(\displaystyle n=\frac{\sin\frac{70^\circ+50^\circ}{2}}{\sin\frac{70^\circ}{2}}=1{,}51\).
