Fig. 9.02(a) and (b), show refraction of a ray in air incident at 60^(@) with the normal to a glass - air and water - air interface, respectively. Predict the angle of refraction in glass when the angle of incidence in water is 45^(@) with the normal to a water - glass interface [Fig. 9.02(c)]. |

Answer» Solution :From fig (a) `n_(ga) =(sin 60^(@))/(sin 35^(@)) =0.8660/0.5736 = 1.51` and from fig (b) : `n_(WA) = (sin 60^(@))/(sin 47^(@)) = 0.8660/0.6561 = 1.32` `THEREFORE n_(GW) = n_(ga)/n_(wa) = 1.51/1.32 = 1.144` Now, in fig. ( c) if angle of REFRACTION be r, then `(sin 45^(@))/(sin r) = n_(gw) = 1.144 rArr sin r =(sin 45^(@))/(1.144) = 0.7071/1.144 = 0.6181` and `r = sin^(-1) (0.6181) = 38^(@)` |
