Answer:
A. 59.4
Explanation:
The refractive index of the glass, n₁ = 1.50
The angle of incidence of the light, θ₁ = 35°
The refractive index of air, n₂ = 1.0
Snell's law states that n₁·sin(θ₁) = n₂·sin(θ₂)
Where;
θ₂ = The angle of refraction of the light, which is the angle the light will have when it passes from the glass into the air
Therefore;
θ₂ = arcsin(n₁·sin(θ₁)/n₂)
Plugging in the values of n₁, n₂ and θ₁ gives;
θ₂ = arcsin(1.50 × sin(35°)/1.0) ≈ 59.357551° ≈ 59.4°
The angle the light will have when it passes from the glass into the air, θ₂ ≈ 59.4°.
