Chapter 10.3, Problem 44PS
Solution

a.

To state: The simplified form of the equation to derive Snell’s law: n1sinθ1=n2sinθ2

The change of direction is defined by Snell’s law where n1 and n2 are the indices of refraction for the two mediums. Snell’s law can be derived from the equation:

  n1cot2θ1+1=n2cot2θ2+1

  Holt Mcdougal Larson Algebra 2: Student Edition 2012, Chapter 10.3, Problem 44PS

The resultant answer is n1sinθ1=n2sinθ2 .

Given information:

The given equation is:

  n1cot2θ1+1=n2cot2θ2+1

Explanation:

Consider the given equation:

  n1cot2θ1+1=n2cot2θ2+1

Use Pythagorean identity cot2θ+1=csc2θ ,

  n1csc2θ1=n2csc2θ2n1cscθ1=n2cscθ2

Substitute 1cscθ=sinθ ,

  n1sinθ1=n2sinθ2

Therefore, the simplified form of the equation n1cot2θ1+1=n2cot2θ2+1 is n1sinθ1=n2sinθ2 .

b.

To state: The value of n1 if θ1=55, θ2=35, and n2=2 .

The resultant answer is mA=37 .

Given information:

The equation from part (a) is n1sinθ1=n2sinθ2 .

Explanation:

Consider the equation n1sinθ1=n2sinθ2 ,

  n1sinθ1=n2sinθ2

Now substitute the values θ1=55, θ2=35, and n2=2 .

  n1sin55=2sin35n10.819=20.574n1=1.1480.819n11.402

Therefore, the value of n1 is about 1.402 .

c.

To state: What must be true for n1 and n2 if θ1=θ2 .

If θ1=θ2 then n1 and n2 must be equal.

Given information:

It is given that θ1=θ2 .

Explanation:

Consider the equation n1sinθ1=n2sinθ2 ,

It is given that θ1=θ2 , then it can be written as:

  n1sinθ1=n2sinθ1n1=n2

Here n1 and n2 represents indices of refraction. It means the indices of refraction for the two mediums are equal.
