    Difference between school physics teachers and Organic Chemistry Tutor
    Teachers teach you definitions, formulas, laws
    Organic Chemistry Tutor not only teaches you the three above but also teaches you where it came from and how things work.
    Excellent 10/10 channel on YT
    Improved my physics grades by rocket speed.

  • @David-uy7ev
    @David-uy7ev 3 роки тому +8

    I believe you've made a mistake in the problem with light passing through air, glass and diamond (around 20:00). When calculating the final angle you used sin(35.26), whereas I believe it should be sin(57.74), which is the angle between the normal line and the light. You would then get an angle of 30.69 instead of 21.1. Please correct me if I'm wrong.

    • @joseenricoaguila5218
      @joseenricoaguila5218 2 роки тому

      right

    • @joseenricoaguila5218
      @joseenricoaguila5218 2 роки тому

      he misplaced the 35.26 which is supposed to be an incident angle. so it's still sin(35.25) to be used.

    • @tykhonpuhach9496
      @tykhonpuhach9496 9 місяців тому

      Yes, I also noticed this mistake.

    • @tykhonpuhach9496
      @tykhonpuhach9496 9 місяців тому

      No, actually, he has a point. The new angle of incidence is equal to the old angle of refraction, because these are two angles with parallel lines and a secant in the form of a reflected ray.

  • @camplays487
    @camplays487 3 роки тому +2

    Why didn't you use the angle of incidence for the second step of the second example problem? Shouldn't the final equation be 1.5sin(90-35.26)=2.4sin(theta)

  • @jonnyreverb
    @jonnyreverb 4 роки тому +2

    @06:53 So close. The wavelength does not change. Different wavelengths refract at different angles. Refraction does not change colors, just the angle they are deflected. You cannot put a red laser into a prism and get a blue laser out (unless it's a KTP or BBO crystal, but that's another can of worms).

    To find Theta 3, dont you have to use the complementary angle of Theta 2, in order to use properly the Snell's law?

    • @eduardomoreira7624
      @eduardomoreira7624 2 роки тому

      If you’re talking about the angle about the normal line of the refraction light then no you do not. Theta 2 (reflection) = theta 1(incident) and theta 3 can just be solved using the formula n1sin(theta1)=n3sin(theta3)

    • @eduardomoreira7624
      @eduardomoreira7624 2 роки тому

      The numbers are interchangeable so it can be considered angle 1,2, or 3 as long as you know the difference in each and know how to apply them in each formula

    • @eduardomoreira7624
      @eduardomoreira7624 2 роки тому

    • @kutukutilk
      @kutukutilk 6 років тому +3

      If you used alternate angles, then you should get around 54.74° which is incorrect as it is not specified if it's a parallel line.

    • @wcromag
      @wcromag 6 років тому +3

      I'm wondering the same thing. I don't follow the reasoning of the replies you've received either.
      His initial process involves relating angles between the ray of light and the "normal line". Then he switches for the second calculation to using the angle between the ray of light and the surface to find the third angle.

  • @St37One
    @St37One 2 роки тому +1

    I was really hoping to find a formula which relates the index of refraction, or the change in the speed of light on the one hand to the wavelength or the frequency of the light on the other hand. Obviously, different frequencies/wavelengths of light diverge in a prism due to this principle, but what is the mathematical formula that allows you to predict the degree of bending or slowing by knowing the frequency or wavelength?

    This idea doesn't make sense to me because if you say 3 layers but the second layer is different in each case, it seems like the angle of refraction would be different because in each case the light ray from the previous layer is coming in at a different angle isn't it?

    • @stevencloud5350
      @stevencloud5350 5 років тому

      @Stephen Rose Right, but you also have to remember that the n value for the previous layer changes too so that accounts for the change in angle.

    So Snell's law and index of refraction is just a generalization unless you can quantify the index. How do you solve for the unknown, factor? Science gives us Standard Refraction, a meaningless number that does not account for the temperatures and densities of different gasses and pollution in the atmosphere and how light propagates through them. For any given day, time, location, you cannot know the amount of or make up of pollution and gasses in the atmosphere so standard refraction cannot work. I'm trying to understand how Snell's law and standard refraction relate.
