A ray of light has an angle of incidence of 30.4� degrees

on a block of quartz and an angle of refraction
of 20.7� degrees.
What is the index of refraction for this block
of quartz?

1 answer

sin 30.4 = N sin 20.7

Solve for the index, N

It's called Snell's Law

This assumes the incident ray is in air or vacuum, where the index is 1.000
