A ray of light is incident on the glass on a glass water boundary . The angle of incidence is 50 degree. Calculate the angle of refraction . Refractive index of glass= 1.50 , refractive index of water =1.33.
Added by Sotor S.
Step 1
Mathematically, this is expressed as: n1 * sin(i) = n2 * sin(r) where: n1 = refractive index of the first medium (glass in this case) i = angle of incidence n2 = refractive index of the second medium (water in this case) r = angle of refraction We are Show more…
