Explanation:
The concepts involved in this simulation are discussed in Sections 22.2 and 24.2. The angle of refraction is determined by using Equation 22.2. The wavelength of light is computed by using Equation 24.3. Note that the dependence of the index of refraction on the wavelength of light is ignored in this simulation.
