Answer:
(a) 42°
Explanation:
According to the law of reflection:
Angle of incidence = Angle of reflection
So, angle of reflection = 62°
Angle of incidence = 62°
For refraction,
Using Snell's law as:
[tex]n_i\times {sin\theta_i}={n_r}\times{sin\theta_r}[/tex]
Where,
[tex]{\theta_i}[/tex] is the angle of incidence ( 62.0° )
[tex]{\theta_r}[/tex] is the angle of refraction ( ? )
[tex]{n_r}[/tex] is the refractive index of the refraction medium (water, n=1.33)
[tex]{n_i}[/tex] is the refractive index of the incidence medium (air, n=1)
Hence,
[tex]1\times {sin62.0^0}={1.33}\times{sin\theta_r}[/tex]
Angle of refraction = [tex]sin^{-1}0.6639[/tex] = 42°
