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

Coefficient of Refraction = [c]/Velocity of Light in Medium
μ = [c]/v_m

What is Lens ?

A lens is a transparent optical device made of glass or plastic that refracts light to focus or disperse it. Lenses are categorized into two main types: convex lenses, which converge light rays, and concave lenses, which diverge them. They are used in various applications, including cameras, glasses, microscopes, and optical instruments.

How to Calculate Coefficient of Refraction using Velocity?
