Thank you The refractive index n of a substance is a dimensionless measure of how much light bends (refracts) when passing from one medium tojanother.n=where c is the speed of light in a vacuum (a constant) and v is the speed of light in the medium. For example, the refractive index of diamond is 2.42 whichmeans that light travels 2.42 times as fast in a vacuum as it does in a diamond.Snell's law is an equation that relates the indices of refraction of two different mediums to the angle of incidence 0, and angle of refraction 0,. Angles 0, and 0,are measured from a line perpendicular to the boundary between the two mediums. Use this relationship and the table of refraction indices to complete theexercises.n, sin 0,=n2 sin 02Index of RefractionMediumIndexAir1.00029Water1.331.36Acetone1.38Human corneaGlycerin1.4721.54Sodium chloride1.77Sapphire2.15Cubic zirconia2.42Diamond If a beam of light traveling through air enters acetone at an angle of incidence of 37°, what is the angle of refraction? Round to the nearest tenth of a degree.The angle of refraction 0, is approximately UY:
