Angle of Deviation in Dispersion Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Angle of Deviation = (Coefficient of Refraction-1)*Angle of Prism
D = (μ-1)*A
This formula uses 3 Variables

Variables Used

Angle of Deviation - (Measured in Radian) - Angle of Deviation is the angle between the incident ray and the path of the refracted ray.
Coefficient of Refraction - Coefficient of Refraction is quotient of the sine of the angle of incidence divided by the sine of the angle of refraction.
Angle of Prism - (Measured in Radian) - Angle of Prism is the angle between the prism between two lateral surfaces.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Coefficient of Refraction: 1.33 --> No Conversion Required
Angle of Prism: 35 Degree --> 0.610865238197901 Radian (Check conversion here)

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Power of Lens using Distance Rule

Go Power of Lens = Power of First Lens+Power of Second Lens-Width of Lens*Power of First Lens*Power of Second Lens

Angle of Deviation

Go Angle of Deviation = Angle of Incidence+Angle of Emergence-Angle of Prism

Angle of Emergence

Go Angle of Emergence = Angle of Prism+Angle of Deviation-Angle of Incidence

Angle of Incidence

Go Angle of Incidence = Angle of Deviation+Angle of Prism-Angle of Emergence

Angle of Prism

Go Angle of Prism = Angle of Incidence+Angle of Emergence-Angle of Deviation

Angle of Deviation in Dispersion

Go Angle of Deviation = (Coefficient of Refraction-1)*Angle of Prism
