Question

The velocities of light in air and glass are 3.0 x 10^8ms and 2.0×10^8ms respectively. If the angle of refraction is 30°, the sine of the angle of incidence is?
Pls help​

Answer 1

Answer:

0.75

Explanation:

$refractive \: index \: = \frac{3.0 \times {10}^{2} }{2.0 \times {10}^{2} }$

= 1.5

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

$1.5 = \ \frac{ \sin(i) }{ \sin(30) }$

1.5 × ½ = sin(i)

$\sin(i) = 0.75$
