A ray of light strikes a plane boundary ...

A ray of light strikes a plane boundary separating two media, medium 1 and medium 2, at an angle of `45^(@)`. Calculate the angle of refraction if the ray of light travels from medium 1 to medium 2. Given, refractive indices of medium 1 and 2 are 1.5 and 1.33 respectively.

To solve the problem of finding the angle of refraction when a ray of light travels from medium 1 to medium 2, we will use Snell's Law. Snell's Law states that: \[ \mu_1 \sin(i) = \mu_2 \sin(r) \] Where: - \(\mu_1\) = refractive index of medium 1 ...
