A beam of light is incident from air to water at an angle of 30(^o). Find the angle of refraction if the refractive index of water is 4/3

  • A.
    15(^o)
  • B.
    18(^o)
  • C.
    22(^o)
  • D.
    24(^o)
Correct Answer: Option C
Explanation

X = (frac{4}{3}) r = ?

  Shell’s law:.  = (frac{Sin i^0}{ Sin r^0})

  = (frac{Sin 30^0}{Sin r^0})

  Sin(r^0) = (frac{3 Sin 30^0}{4})

  Sin (r^0) = 0.375

  R (^o) = Sin-1 (0.375)

  R (^o) = 22.02 (^o)

  R (^o) = 22 (^o)
