Question

3. Light strikes a glass plate at an angle of incidence of 60°, part of the beam being reflected and part refracted. It is observed that the reflected and refracted portions make an angle of 90o with each other. What is the index of refraction of the glass?

Step 1

Step 1: Use Snell's Law to relate the angle of incidence to the angle of refraction: \[ n_1 \times \sin(\theta_1) = n_2 \times \sin(\theta_2) \] where \( n_1 = 1 \) (index of refraction of air), \( \theta_1 = 60^\circ \), \( \theta_2 = 30^\circ \), and we need to Show more…
