Light enters water at an angle of incidence of 24 degrees and refractive index of 4/3.Calculate the angle of refraction

Respuesta :

Explanation:

According to Snell's law :

Sin i / Sin r = refractive index

[tex]r = sin^{ - 1} ( \frac{sin \: i}{1.33} ) = sin^{ - 1} (0.3)[/tex]

[tex]angle \: of \: refraction = 17.45°[/tex]

Therefore, angle of refraction is less than angle of incidence because the light ray bends towards the normal when it travels from rarer to denser medium
