The index of refraction of the unknown material in which a ray of light is incident at 35° and refracted at 23° is 2.03
<h3>Snell's law</h3>
index of refraction (n) = Sine i / Sine r
n = Sine i / Sine r
Where
- i is the angle of incidence
- r is the angle of refraction
<h3>How to determine the refractive index </h3>
From the question given above, the following data were obtained:
- Index of refraction of oil (nₒ) = 1.38
- Angle of incidence (i) = 35°
- Angle of refraction (r) = 23°
- Index of refraction of unknown material (nᵣ) =?
nₒSine i = nᵣSine r
1.38 × Sine 35 = nᵣ × Sine 23
Divide both side by Sine 23
nᵣ = (1.38 × Sine 35) / Sine 23
nᵣ = 2.03
Thus, the index of refraction of the unknown material is 2.03
