If the light ray moves from inside the glass toward the glass–air interface at an angle of 30.0° to the normal, determine the angle of refraction.

Answer:

This question is incomplete

Explanation:

This question is incomplete, however, the relationship to between the angle of incidence and angle of refraction is best explained by snell's law with the equation below

ni sinθi = nr sinθr

where ni is the refractive index of the incident medium (assuming it's plate glass then 1.52)

nr is the refractive index of the refractive medium (1.33)

θi is the angle of incidence (30°)

θr is the angle of refraction (X)

If we substitute the values, we have

1.52 × sin 30 = 1.33 × sin X

1.52 × 0.5 = 1.33 × sin X

0.75 = 1.33 × sin X

sin X = 0.75/1.33

sin X = 0.571

X = sin⁻¹ 0.571

X = 34.82°

Thus, the angle of refraction will be 34.82°
