1. Using Snell’s law, determine the constant when the angle of incidence and the angle of refraction are: a) 50˚ and 30˚ b) 30˚ and 18˚ c) 60˚ and 38˚
2. a) What is the angle of refraction in a medium if the angle of incidence in air is 48˚ and the index of refraction of the medium is 1.58? b) What is the angle of incidence in a medium in the case where the angle of refraction in air is 40˚ and the index of refraction of the medium is 1.58?
3. A ray of light passes from air into water at an angle of incidence of 50˚. What is the angle of refraction? (HINT: You will need to use the sin1 function on your calculator).
