Optics True or False Question?
True or false and why?
For any given angle of incidence greater than zero, the lateral displacement produced by a rectangular prism decreases as the index of refraction increases.
Thanks.
Its false.
The lateral displacement is a measure of how much the ray is "bent" towards the normal by the glass. The bigger the refractive index, the greater the bending and the greater the bending the greater the lateral displacement.
Draw up a rectangular glass block and do the scale drawing of a ray going through - that would be enough of an explanation as far as I was concerned.
