I thought no other tutor could ever explain better than the organic chemistry tutor....but you are one of a kind sir💯💯

THANK YOU SO MUCH. This made so much more sense after you went step by step and showed which angles were relative to which normal.

The video is 1st class, excellent explanation and the quality of the overall video is just wow.

After doing these calculations a few times, I noticed that for a 60 degree equilateral prism, the two angles inside the prism (theta 2 and theta 3) add up to 60. Nice little shortcut for equilateral prisms--less geometry!

Thanks, this is by far the best prism lesson I've found :)

just about to take my aqa A level physics exam tomorrow and came across your workthroughs for difficult refraction and TIR problems, just what i needed! been stuggling on more complex ones like these for a while and you have helped me alot with this topic! a big thanks to your physics and mathematics playlists, cant wait to see more vids in the future!

thank you so much i watched a lot of videos and none of them explained it like you did! i understand now

How do I find the angle of Theta3 if the prism is not equilateral?

This is challenging! I rewatched twice to fully understand. What is difficult in my opinion is knowing to replicate the horizontal beneath the refracted light once more and knowing it is also 30 degrees because it was the angle between the medium and horizontal coming in on the left side, then adding the 5.7 degrees to that because of the reflected angle.

What should I do if theta 3 is about 40° or bigger? with that IOR, 1.56 * sin(40°) = 1.002... => arcsin from something > 1 isn't possible. Is there a different approach?

cool fact:If you transpose the light beam such that the normal entry line intersects with one corner of the prism, you can apply angle sum of triangle twice to find the 35.7 deg

prof Biezen you are the best

Sir has helped me to a greater extent

thank you for all your great lessons! do u have a lesson for Angle of devitation?

Does the normal always make an angle of 30 degrees with the horizontal??

What should you do if nsin(theta) is greater than 90.

You are a great teacher and person! Thank you

thank you very much sir for the video I understand after seeing this video but I have a question 1,56where did you get it from? Thank you in advance sir 🙏🏻

thank you so much for the great guide,couldnt find any better than this

4:30 I have a question. How'd you know that broken line was the normal in the other side? Is it just a perpendicular line with respect to the normal line in the left side? Thanks.

i still don't get , how you find third angle

How did you know what angle theta sub 3 was?

sir you are awesome you are amazing you explain concept in a very easy way you are great sir hats of to you

THANK YOU SO MUCH!! this makes so much sense after you went through it step by step, I will never figure this out by my own :(

How did you find out the 10 degrees and 30 degrees on the angle of incidence?

thanks

Many thanks!

How did you get n1 to equal 1 and n2 to equal 1.56?

This is the reason why we must always review the BASICS of Geometry and Trigonometry.

Theta2 + Theta3 is always equal to the top angle of the prism right?

Very clear. Thank you Sir

Wonderful video

how can we theoretically prove that the 24.3 degrees is above the normal rather than below it? I only know this from experience.....

That's amazing! Thanks

thanks sir ur epic

sooo helpful

What is N1 and how did you calculate N2?

Great video! Now I finally understand it.

this is awesome thanks a lot teacher

The angle between two lines is the same as the angle between their normal right?

I'm doing my gcses in less than 40 days wish me luck!! I really need to :D

is there a way to find the result without using a calculatrice ?? btw thanks for the explanation god bless youu

I know it's not relevant, but, he sounds exactly like Gru from Despicable Me.

Thank you sir❤

Thanks a lot

Isn't the wavelength of the electromagnetic wave (light) also a factor of the angle of refraction?

you are truly great

i mean how you get 30, in theta3 = 30 + 5.7

Thanks

thank you!

Thank you very much . very helpful

thanks a lot mate🙏🙏

Better explained impossible, congrats

What happens if the lens is deceptive ? If the lens is deceptive...the entire theory and answers to the theory would be incorrect....right ?

I did have to put the video on .75.

Why would you bother to keep track of the angles' relations to the "horizontal"? It is just as irrelevant as the "base" angles! If you don't have enough points of reference, why not add the North Star or the direction to the bathroom? It seems that the hypothesis is not about refraction, but the refraction on a specific prism on somebody's horizontal desk

This overcomplicates Snell's Law completely

not very clear to find the angles

how angle 2 and angle 3 can be different?

bowties are cool

why bother talking about the horizontal line so much when angles of a triangle can be calculated with more basic rules... convoluted explanation..

nice lesson teacher but the video not clear.........like your exeplanation

WHAT OBJECT OCCUPIES THE MOST SPACE?: The answer, incredibly AND ON BALANCE, is WHAT IS E=MC2 !!!! Here's the full proof and the explanation. The SPACE that surrounds us IS quantum gravitational (ON/IN BALANCE), AS ELECTROMAGNETISM/energy is gravity. Great. Gravity/acceleration involves BALANCED inertia/INERTIAL RESISTANCE, AS ELECTROMAGNETISM/energy is gravity; AS WHAT IS E=MC2 is taken directly from F=ma; AS “mass”/energy is CLEARLY electromagnetic/gravitational ON/IN BALANCE; AS TIME is NECESSARILY possible/potential AND actual ON/IN BALANCE. Great. To answer the question: “What is nothing in accordance with physics (AND TIME)?”, we must understand (ON BALANCE) WHAT IS SOMETHING; AS BALANCE AND completeness go hand in hand. The ultimate unification and understanding of physics/physical experience (AND TIME) combines, BALANCES, AND INCLUDES opposites. Carefully consider what is THE EYE (ON BALANCE). Do notice the associated black “space” AND the dome AS WELL. NOW, carefully consider what follows !!!! The following proves what is the fourth dimension ON BALANCE. WHAT IS E=MC2 is the fundamental basis for the true understanding of what is inertia/INERTIAL RESISTANCE. TIME is NECESSARILY possible/potential AND actual ON/IN BALANCE, AS ELECTROMAGNETISM/energy is CLEARLY AND NECESSARILY proven to be gravity (ON/IN BALANCE). INDEED, consider TIME AND time dilation ON BALANCE !!!! (The stars AND PLANETS are POINTS in the night sky ON BALANCE.) REGARDING WHAT IS E=MC2, c squared CLEARLY AND NECESSARILY represents a dimension of SPACE ON BALANCE. INDEED, consider what is THE EYE ON BALANCE; AS two AND three dimensional SPACE are, in fact, BALANCED !!!! Great. What is gravity is, ON BALANCE, an INTERACTION that cannot be shielded or blocked. Consider what is the ORANGE AND setting SUN. Notice what is the fully illuminated (AND WHITE) MOON. It is the same size as what is THE EYE. Notice what is the TRANSLUCENT AND BLUE sky. Indeed, consider complete combustion !!!! (I have mathematically proven the fourth dimension.) The density of what is pure WATER IS HALF of that of what is packed sand/wet packed sand. Now, WHAT IS THE EARTH IS ALSO BLUE !!!! The rotation of WHAT IS “THE MOON” matches the revolution, AS ELECTROMAGNETISM/energy is CLEARLY (AND NECESSARILY) proven to be gravity (ON/IN BALANCE) !!!! CLEARLY, gravity AND ELECTROMAGNETISM/energy are linked (AND BALANCED) opposites (ON BALANCE); as the stars AND PLANETS are POINTS in the night sky. Consider TIME AND time dilation ON BALANCE. CLEARLY, ON BALANCE, I have solved WHAT IS the coronal heating “problem”. GREAT. (Indeed, consider what is lightning.) Absolute SPACE IS the truly and fundamentally BALANCED inertial frame (or SPACE). Indeed, “mass”/ENERGY is CLEARLY electromagnetic/gravitational ON/IN BALANCE; AS c squared CLEARLY (AND NECESSARILY) represents a dimension of SPACE (ON BALANCE) REGARDING WHAT IS E=MC2. INDEED, consider TIME AND time dilation ON BALANCE; AS this proves what is the FOURTH dimension. Consider what is the man (AND THE EYE ON BALANCE) who IS standing on what is THE EARTH/ground. Great !!!! Think. The fourth dimension AND WHAT IS E=MC2 are FUNDAMENTALLY consistent with/AS what are wave/particle duality AND the fact that c squared CLEARLY (AND NECESSARILY) represents a dimension of SPACE ON BALANCE (REGARDING WHAT IS E=MC2) !!!! CLEARLY (ON BALANCE), gravity AND ELECTROMAGNETISM/energy are linked AND BALANCED opposites; as the stars AND PLANETS are POINTS in the night sky ON BALANCE !!!! INDEED, consider TIME AND time dilation ON BALANCE; AS “mass”/ENERGY is (CLEARLY) electromagnetic/gravitational ON/IN BALANCE; AS TIME is NECESSARILY possible/potential AND actual ON/IN BALANCE; AS the rotation of WHAT IS THE MOON matches the revolution; AS WHAT IS E=MC2 is taken directly from F=ma; AS ELECTROMAGNETISM/energy is CLEARLY (AND NECESSARILY) proven to be gravity (ON/IN BALANCE) !!!! CLEARLY (ON BALANCE), I have mathematically proven and explained what is the FOURTH dimension; AS TIME is NECESSARILY possible/potential AND actual ON/IN BALANCE. INDEED, consider TIME AND time dilation ON BALANCE; AND consider what is complete combustion (ON BALANCE); AS ELECTROMAGNETISM/energy is CLEARLY (AND NECESSARILY) proven to be gravity (ON/IN BALANCE) !!!! Great. It is proven. Finally, ON BALANCE, notice WHAT IS the TRANSLUCENT AND BLUE sky. Magnificent !!!! Think. It all CLEARLY makes perfect sense ON BALANCE !!!! Notice WHAT IS “THE MOON” (ON BALANCE) !!!! THINK !!!! ABSOLUTELY MAGNIFICENT !!!! CONSIDER TIME AND TIME DILATION ON BALANCE !!!! GREAT !!!! AGAIN, do notice WHAT IS the ORANGE “SUN” ON BALANCE !!!! Great. It ALL CLEARLY makes perfect sense ON BALANCE. By Frank Martin DiMeglio
