The angle of refraction of the light.
Answer to Problem 55A
Explanation of Solution
Given:
The
The angle of incidence in the air,
Formula used:
The index of refraction is given by,
Where,
Snell’s law of refraction,
Where,
Calculation:
It is known that,
Index of refraction of air,
Using the speed of light in plastic, the index of refraction of plastic will be,
Then, using Snell’s law of refraction, angle of refraction of light will be,
Conclusion:
Hence, the angle of refraction is
