Question

The light from a red laser pointer has wavelength 635 nm in air and 508 nm in a transparent liquid. You point the laser in air so that the beam strikes the surface of the liquid at an angle of 35.0° from the normal. Find (a) the index of refraction of the liquid, (b) the angle of refraction, (c) the frequency of the light in air, and (d) the frequency of the light in the liquid

00:01 Hi all.
00:03 In part a, we have to find out refractive index of liquid.
00:08 For that, we have formula.
00:11 Mew stands for refractive index is equal to lambda not upon lambda.
00:16 Substitute the values given in the question is equal to 635 upon 508.
00:24 Both having same unit meter, so we'll get cancelled.
00:28 And by solving this, we will get no.
00:31 Mu is equal to 1 .25 which is unitless quantity and this is required refractive index of liquid...
