Calculate the angle of refraction of the light inwater


Assignment:

1. A light wave traveling in air passes into the water in a swimming pool at an angle of incidence of 25°. Calculate the angle of refraction of the light inwater.

2. Light entering a block of glass at an angle of incidence of 20.5° leaves the boundary between the air and the glass at an angle of 14.0°. What is the index of refraction of this type ofglass?

3. Light is incident on diamond at an angle of 10.0°. If the refractive index of a diamond is n=2.4175, at what angle will itrefract in the diamond?

4. A transparent material has a refractive index of 1.35. What is the angle of incidence in air when the angle of refraction in the substance is40°?

5. What is the index of refraction of a material if the angle of incidence in air is 40° and the angleof refraction in the material is30°?

6. Arayof light passes from water in to car bond is ulphide (nd=1.63) with an angle of incidence of 38°. What is the angle of refraction in the carbondisulphide?

7. A ray of light travels from air into water (n = 1.33) then into glass ( n= 1.50 ) as shown in the diagram. Find the angle of refraction in theglass.
