Question #242412

Light in air is incident on a piece of crown glass at an angle of 35 degreee relative to the normal. What is the angle of refraction in the glass?



Expert's answer

Index of refraction of crown glass is 1.5

Snell's law

n1sinθ1=n2sinθ21×sin35=1.5×sinθ20.5736=1.5×sinθ2sinθ2=0.57361.5=0.3824θ2=22.482  degreen_1 sin \theta_1 = n_2 sin \theta_2 \\ 1 \times sin 35 = 1.5 \times sin \theta_2 \\ 0.5736 = 1.5 \times sin \theta_2 \\ sin \theta_2 = \frac{0.5736}{1.5} =0.3824 \\ \theta_2 = 22.482 \; degree
