Question
Light passes from air into water at an angle of incidence of 40.4°. Determine the angle of refraction in the water.
Answers
I hope you have heard of Snell's law.
N(air)*sin theta(in air)
= N(water)*sin theta (in water)
sin theta (in water) = (1/1.33)sin 40.4 = 0.487
Solve for theta in water
N(air)*sin theta(in air)
= N(water)*sin theta (in water)
sin theta (in water) = (1/1.33)sin 40.4 = 0.487
Solve for theta in water
