To solve the exercise it is necessary to take into account the concepts of wavelength as a function of speed.
From the definition we know that the wavelength is described under the equation,
Where,
c = Speed of light (vacuum)
f = frequency
Our values are,
Replacing we have,
<em>Therefore the wavelength of this wave is </em>
Answer:
33.61°
Explanation:
Refractive index is equal to velocity of the light 'c' in empty space divided by the velocity 'v' in the substance.
Or ,
n = c/v.
v is the velocity in the medium (2.3 × 10⁸ m/s)
c is the speed of light in air = 3.0 × 10⁸ m/s
So,
n = 3.0 × 10⁸ / 2.3 × 10⁸
n = 1.31
Using Snell's law as:
Where,
is the angle of incidence ( 25.0° )
is the angle of refraction ( ? )
is the refractive index of the refraction medium (air, n=1)
is the refractive index of the incidence medium (glass, n=1.31)
Hence,
Angle of refraction = = 33.61°
