Explanation of Solution

Given information:

When light changes the medium then angle then angle of travel also changes. This is the phenomenon of refraction shown as below.

  Big Ideas Math A Bridge To Success Algebra 2: Student Edition 2015, Chapter 9.7, Problem 38E , additional homework tip  1

Calculation:

The phenomenon of refraction is shown as below.

  Big Ideas Math A Bridge To Success Algebra 2: Student Edition 2015, Chapter 9.7, Problem 38E , additional homework tip  2

The relationship between angles θ1 and θ2 can be derived from below equation.

  n1cot2θ1+1=n2cot2θ2+1

Simplifying above equation,

  n1csc2θ1=n2csc2θ2n1cscθ1=n2cscθ2n1sinθ1=n2sinθ2                                 {Snell's law}

Explanation of Solution

Given information:

Same as part a of this exercise.

  θ1=550,θ2=350, and n2=2 .

Calculation:

The relationship between angles θ1 and θ2 can be derived from below equation.

  n1sinθ1=n2sinθ2                                 {Snell's law}

Substitute θ1=550,θ2=350, and n2=2 ,

  n1sin550=2sin350n1=2sin350sin550n1=2×0.573570.81915n1=1.4

Hence, value of n1 is 1.4 .

c.

To determine

To show: The value of n1 and n2 .

Explanation of Solution

Given information:

Same as part a of this exercise and θ1=θ2 .

Calculation:

The relationship between angles θ1 and θ2 can be derived from below equation.

  n1sinθ1=n2sinθ2                                 {Snell's law}

Substitute θ1=θ2 ,

  n1sinθ1=n2sinθ1n1=n2

In real word, this means light is travelling in same medium and angle of travel do not change. In other words light travels in a straight line in a medium.
