Angle of Incidence Calculator

Formula

The formula to calculate Angle of Incidence is:

\[ i = D + A - e \]

Where:

\(i\) is the Angle of Incidence (rad)
\(D\) is the Angle of Deviation (rad)
\(A\) is the Angle of Prism (rad)
\(e\) is the Angle of Emergence (rad)

Definition

Angle of Incidence is the angle at which a light ray or a beam of light strikes a surface, such as a lens, mirror, or prism, and is used to describe the orientation of the incident light.

Example Calculation

Let's assume the following values:

Angle of Deviation (\(D\)) = 0.15707963267946 rad
Angle of Prism (\(A\)) = 0.610865238197901 rad
Angle of Emergence (\(e\)) = 0.0698131700797601 rad

Using the formula:

\[ i = 0.15707963267946 + 0.610865238197901 - 0.0698131700797601 \]

Evaluating:

\[ i = 0.698131700797601 \text{ rad} \]

The Angle of Incidence is 0.698131700797601 rad.
