|    analytic solution?    |
|    18 Dec 18 08:42:16    |
      From: astroelectronic@t-online.de              Hi all,              I'd like to know if there exists an anlytic solution for this problem.       A beam starts at height = 0 with angle alpha, and passes through air of       thickness A and then through a glass window of thickness D. When exiting the       window, the beam's height is C.       A, D, C and the index of refraction are known. Is there an analytic solution       for angle alpha? I think it doesn't exist, but maybe I'm overlooking something.              http://www.astro-electronic.de/Brechung.jpg              Thanks,       Michael              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
