The angle of refraction when light passes from air to glass with help of given figure
![Check Mark](/static/check-mark.png)
Answer to Problem 5P
Explanation of Solution
Calculation:
This is figure 9.34.
When we closely observe the figure, we can estimate the angle of refraction. So, we can see the following estimation as
Here, we can observe that as the angle of incidence increases, angle of refraction also increases. So, we can see that if we do the angle of incidence double, then, angle of refraction also be double.
Similarly, if we angle of incidence is
When we see the figure, we can also get angle of refraction as
Conclusion:
Thus, angle of incident changes as the angle of refraction.
