Question
Snell's law describes the relationship betwee the angle a light ray makes as it leaves a surface, the angle it makes
incident on the surface, and the indices of refraction on both sides of the surface. If light incident in air at angle of 30
degrees from the normal onto glass with an index of refraction of 1.5 -
Pick those answers that apply
There is light reflected back into the air from the surface
The angle is too steep for light to refract and it is all reflected.
The light inside the glass is closer to the normal, makes a bigger angle with the surface, than the incident light
Inside the material, the light leaving the surface is closer to the surface, makes a bigger angle with the normal, than
the entering light makes in air.
