Question

Light is incident at an angle of 35 ^o to the normal of the surface of a pond. From the water (refractive index 1.33) the light appears to be at which angle with respect to the normal to the surface

(a) 49.72 ^o

(b) 18.53 ^o

(d) 25.54 ^o

(e) 40.28 ^o

Expert Solution

Step 1

Using Snell's Law, with i and r being the incident and refracted angles and n_2,n₁ are refractive indexes

sin(i)/sin(r) = n₂/n₁-----(1)

here i = 35^o,n₂=1.33 and n₁=1
