Answer:

The angle of refraction in the crown glass is 15.5°.

Step-by-step explanation:

known values

angle of incidence (θ1) = 24.00

refractive index of air (n1) = 1.00

refractive index of crown glass (n2) = 1.52

unknown value: angle of refraction (θ2)

Snell’s law equation: n1 sin θ1 = n2 sin θ2

Substitute known values in this equation to get

(1)(sin 24°) = (1.52)(sin θ2)

sin θr = 0.27

θr = 15.5°

The angle of refraction in the crown glass is 15.5°.
