Expert Answer:
A = 50 degree
n = 1.55, n0 = 1
i = 35 degree
Now at the first surface
n/n0 = sin i / sinr1
sinr1 = sin35/1.55 = 0.337
r1 = 21.89 degree
Now, A = r1+r2
50 = 21.89 +r2
r2 = 28.11 degree
Now, at the second surface, also
n/n0 = sin r2 / sini2 (i2 is the angle of emergence)
sini2 = sin(28.11)/1.55 = 0.275
i2 = 17.78 degree
Furthermore, n = sin((A+D)/2)/sinA/2
sin((A+D)/2) = 1.55*sin25
sin((A+D)/2) = 0.593
(A+D)/2 = 40.42
A+D = 80.84
D = 80.84-50
D = 30.84 degree
n/n0 = sin r2 / sini2 (i2 is the angle of emergence)
sini2 = sin(28.11)/1.55 = 0.275
i2 = 17.78 degree
Furthermore, n = sin((A+D)/2)/sinA/2
sin((A+D)/2) = 1.55*sin25
sin((A+D)/2) = 0.593
(A+D)/2 = 40.42
A+D = 80.84
D = 80.84-50
D = 30.84 degree
