Question

A ray of light incident in air strikes a rectangular glass block of refractive index 1.5 at angle of incidence of 45.

Answer 1

Refraction is said to occur when there is a change in the speed of light.

What is the angle of refraction?

We know that refraction is said to occur when there is a change in the speed of light as it travels form one medium to another.

Given that the refractive index of the rectangular glass block is  1.5. The angle of refraction can be obtained by the use of the Snell's law;

n = sin i /sinr

n = refractive index

sini = angle of incidence

sin r = angle of refraction

sinr = sini/n

sinr = sin 45/1.5

= 0.471

r = 28 degrees

b) Now;

sinr =sin  45/1.2

sinr = 0.589

r = 36 degrees

For the glass

sinr = sin 36/1.5

sin r = 0.392

r = 23 degrees
