To solve the problem of finding the angle of refraction when a ray of light passes from glass to air, we will use Snell's law. Here’s a step-by-step solution: ### Step 1: Understand the Given Information - The angle of incidence (i) when the light ray passes from glass to air is given as \( 19.5^\circ \). - The refractive index of glass with respect to air (\( n_{glass} \)) is given as \( \frac{3}{2} \). - The refractive index of air (\( n_{air} \)) is approximately \( 1 \). ### Step 2: Write Snell's Law ...
