Water floats on a liquid called "carbon tetrachloride." The two liquids do not mix. A light ray passing from water into carbon t

etrachloride has an incident angle of 45.0° and an angle of refraction of 40.1°. If the index of refraction of water is 1.33, what is the index of refraction of carbon tetrachloride?

Answer:

1.26

Explanation:

$index \: of \: refraction \: = \: \ \frac{ \sin(angle \: of \: incidence) }{ \sin(angle \: of \: refraction) }$

$\frac{ \sin(45.0) }{ \sin(40.1) }$

= 1.26
