Answer:
33.61°
Explanation:
Refractive index is equal to velocity of the light 'c' in empty space divided by the velocity 'v' in the substance.
Or ,
n = c/v.
v is the velocity in the medium (2.3 × 10⁸ m/s)
c is the speed of light in air = 3.0 × 10⁸ m/s
So,
n = 3.0 × 10⁸ / 2.3 × 10⁸
n = 1.31
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 ( 25.0° )
[tex]{\theta_r}[/tex] is the angle of refraction ( ? )
[tex]{n_r}[/tex] is the refractive index of the refraction medium (air, n=1)
[tex]{n_i}[/tex] is the refractive index of the incidence medium (glass, n=1.31)
Hence,
[tex]1.31\times {sin25.0^0}={1}\times{sin\theta_r}[/tex]
Angle of refraction = [tex]sin^{-1}0.5536[/tex] = 33.61°
