Concept explainers
The other medium if the light travels from air into another medium.
Answer to Problem 5PP
Crown glass
Explanation of Solution
Given:
The angle of incidence,
The angle of refraction,
Formula used:
Snell’s law of refraction,
Where,
Calculation:
It is known that,
Index of refraction of air,
Then, using Snell’s law of refraction, index of refraction of the other medium will be,
And, it is known that the Crown glass has an index of refraction as
Conclusion:
Hence the other medium is a Crown glass.
