Question

An incident ray of light strikes a diamond at an angle of

Answer 1

Answer:

The angle of refraction is option b: 17°.

Explanation:

We can find the angle of refraction by using Snell's law:

$n_{1}sin(\theta_{1}) = n_{2}sin(\theta_{2})$

Where:

n₁: is the index of refraction of the medium 1 (air) = 1.0003  

n₂: is the index of refraction of the medium 2 (diamond) = 2.42

θ₁: is the angle of incidence = 45°

θ₂: is the angle of refraction =?

Hence, the angle of refraction is:

$sin(\theta_{2}) = \frac{n_{1}sin(\theta_{1})}{n_{2}} = \frac{1.0003*sin(45)}{2.42} = 0.2922$

$\theta_{2} = 17 ^{\circ}$

Therefore, the correct option is b: 17°.

I hope it helps you!

Answer 2
