The light beam shown in the figure below makes an angle of = 24.8° with the normal line NN' in the linseed oil. Determine the angles and '. (The refractive index for linseed oil is 1.48.)

Respuesta :

The angle of refraction of the light beam is determined as  16.46 ⁰.

Angle of refraction of the light beam

n = sin i / sin r

where;'

  • n is refractive index
  • i is angle of incidence
  • r is angle of refraction

Angle between the ray and the normal = incident angle = 24.8⁰

1.48 = sin (24.8) / (sin r)

sin r = sin (24.8) / (1.48)

sin r = 0.283

r = sin ⁻¹(0.283)

r = 16.46 ⁰

Thus, the angle of refraction of the light beam is determined as  16.46 ⁰.
