Question #265790

The angle of incidence is 40°, what is the value of the angle of refraction when the light travels from water to light flint glass?

Expert's answer

The angle of refraction is


θ2=arcsin(sinθ1n1n2), θ2=arcsin(sin40°1.331.66)=31°\theta_2=\arcsin(\sin\theta_1·\frac{n_1}{n_2}),\\\space\\ \theta_2=\arcsin(\sin40°·\frac{1.33}{1.66})=31°
