Question
92 In about A.D. 150, Claudius Ptolemy gave the following meas-
ured values for the angle of incidence 0, and the angle of refraction
8, for a light beam passing from air to water:
02
10°
8°
50°
35°
20°
15°30'
60°
40°30'
30°
22°30'
70°
45°30'
40°
29°
80°
50°
Assuming these data are consistent with the law of refraction, use
them to find the index of refraction of water. These data are inter-
esting as perhaps the oldest recorded physical measurements.
