Ratios
A ratio is a comparison between two numbers of the same kind. It represents how many times one number contains another. It also represents how small or large one number is compared to the other.
Trigonometric Ratios
Trigonometric ratios give values of trigonometric functions. It always deals with triangles that have one angle measuring 90 degrees. These triangles are right-angled. We take the ratio of sides of these triangles.

Answer to Problem 27E

1.5216 is the index of refraction

Explanation of Solution

Given information: Physics: Suppose a ray of light passes from air to Lucite. The measure of the angle of incidence is 45∘, and the measure of an angle of refraction is 27∘55' .

Calculation:

This is from Snell’s Law relating the angle of incident and the angle of refraction (θi and θr respectively) .

  Snell's Law is n=sinθisinθr

  n=sinθisinθr=sin45sin27.95=1.5216

1.5216 is the index of refraction
