Coefficient of Refraction using Depth Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Coefficient of Refraction = Real Depth/Apparent Depth
μ = d_real/d_apparent
This formula uses 3 Variables

Variables Used

Coefficient of Refraction - Coefficient of Refraction is the ratio of the speed of light in a vacuum to its speed in a specific medium, describing how much a light beam is refracted when passing through it.
Real Depth - (Measured in Meter) - Real Depth is the actual distance between the camera lens and the subject, which is essential in photography to capture the desired focus and perspective.
Apparent Depth - (Measured in Meter) - Apparent Depth is the perceived depth of an object when viewed through a lens or other optical device, differing from its actual depth due to the effects of refraction or magnification.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Real Depth: 1.5 Meter --> 1.5 Meter No Conversion Required
Apparent Depth: 1.171 Meter --> 1.171 Meter No Conversion Required

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

μ = d_real/d_apparent --> 1.5/1.171

Evaluating ... ...

μ = 1.28095644748079

STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit

1.28095644748079 --> No Conversion Required

FINAL ANSWER

1.28095644748079 ≈ 1.280956 <-- Coefficient of Refraction

Refractive Index

LaTeX Go Refractive Index = sin(Angle of Incidence)/sin(Angle of Refraction)

Angle of Deviation

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

Angle of Emergence

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

Angle of Deviation in Dispersion

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

What is Reflection?

Reflection is the bouncing back of light or other waves when they encounter a surface. It occurs according to the law of reflection, which states that the angle of incidence equals the angle of reflection. Reflection is fundamental in optics, enabling the formation of images in mirrors and various optical devices.
