Question

A beam of light in air strikes a slab of glass (n = 1.52) and is partially reflected and partially refracted and partially refracted, find the angle of incidence if the angle of reflection is twice the angle of refraction.
θ1= (answer in degress)

Answer 1

Answer:

Explanation:

angle of reflection = angle of incidence i = 2θ

angle of refraction r = θ

sin i / sin r = 1.52

sin2θ / sin θ = 1.52

2 sinθ . cosθ / sin θ  = 1.52

2 cosθ = 1.52

cosθ = .76

θ= 41°

Hence angle of incidence = 41°
