Question

Light propagating in the glass n1= 1.65 wall of an aquarium tank strikes the interior edge of the wall with incidence angle 19.0 degrees . What is the angle of refraction in the water?

Answer 1

We can solve this using Snell's Law which is represented by the equation:
sin θ₁ / sin θ₂ = n₂ / n₁

From the problem, we can substitute values and solve for the angle of refraction.
sin 19 / sin θ₂ = 1.65 / 1
θ₂ = 11.38°

The angle of refraction would be 11.38°.
