Question

A beam of light travels inside an aquarium full with water and hits the glass at an angle of 20° with respect to the normal. (a) What would be the angle of the refracted beam in the glass? (b) What would be the angle of the beam that emerges from the glass to the air?

Step 1

33 Refractive index of glass (μg) = 1.5 Angle of incidence (i) = 20 degrees Calculate: \[ \text{Sine of angle of refraction (r)} = \frac{\mu_w}{\mu_g} \times \sin(i) \] \[ \sin(r) = \frac{1.33}{1.5} \times \sin(20) \] \[ \sin(r) = 0.303 \] Show more…
