The refractive index of the silicate flint glass for
The refractive index of the silicate flint glass for
Formula used:
The angles of refraction in the glass:
Where,
Calculation:
Calculation for the refraction at the first surface: It is having that
Now, substitute the give values:
Now, calculate the angle of incidence at the second surface from
Now, calculation for the refraction at the second surface. For this:
Conclusion: The required angles are
