striking the flat surface of the lens at a distance r from the center of the lens<br />
and, after refraction at that surface, striking the slanted groove surface where it<br />
is again refracted. The groove angle b is measured from the vertical as is<br />
shown in an enlarged view in Figure B(ii). Given s 1 , s 2 , and n, we need to show<br />
how, for each value of r, we can find a groove angle b such that after refraction<br />
the ray passes through point B.<br />
Figure C(i) shows a simplified version of Figure B, in which we ignore the<br />
thickness of the lens since it is usually negligible compared to s 1 and s 2 . We also<br />
introduce the angles u 1 and u 2 , and (using what theorem from geometry?) show<br />
them, measured from the horizontal, in Figure C(ii). As in Figure B, Figure C(ii)<br />
is an enlarged view of the region in which the ray indicated in Figure C(i) passes<br />
through the lens.<br />
We are now ready to derive a formula for b. Figure D shows the path of the<br />
ray through the lens with all the relevant angles labeled. Angles w 1 and w œ 1<br />
