A ray of light falls on a glass slab at an incident angle of `45^(@)` and refracted at angle of `30^(@)`.
What is the refractive index of the glass with respect to air ?

Text Solution

AI Generated Solution

To find the refractive index of glass with respect to air, we can use Snell's Law, which states: \[ n_1 \sin(i) = n_2 \sin(r) \] Where: - \( n_1 \) is the refractive index of the first medium (air), - \( n_2 \) is the refractive index of the second medium (glass), - \( i \) is the angle of incidence, ...
