Identify the law, write the equation and calculate the answer to the problem below.

An incident light ray strikes water at an angle of 45 degrees. The index of refraction of air is 1.0003, and the index of refraction of water is 1.33. What is the angle of refraction rounded to the nearest whole number?

Sagot :

Find refractive index first

[tex]\\ \rm\Rrightarrow \mu=\dfrac{c}{v}[/tex]

[tex]\\ \rm\Rrightarrow \mu=\dfrac{1.0003}{1.33}[/tex]

[tex]\\ \rm\Rrightarrow \mu =0.75[/tex]

Now

[tex]\\ \rm\Rrightarrow \dfrac{sini}{sinr}=\mu[/tex]

[tex]\\ \rm\Rrightarrow \dfrac{sin45}{sinr}=0.75[/tex]

[tex]\\ \rm\Rrightarrow \dfrac{sin45}{0.75}=sinr[/tex]

[tex]\\ \rm\Rrightarrow sinr=0.94[/tex]

[tex]\\ \rm\Rrightarrow r=sin^{-1}(0.94)[/tex]

[tex]\\ \rm\Rrightarrow r=70^{\circ}[/tex]
