Question 2

A beam of light passes from air into a glass block with an angle of incidence of 30 degrees. If the refractive index of the glass is 1.5, what is the angle of refraction inside the glass?

Accepted Answer

B. 19.47 degrees — Using Snell's law: n1 sin(θ1) = n2 sin(θ2), where n1=1 (air), θ1=30°, and n2=1.5 (glass). Solving for θ2 gives approximately 19.47 degrees, which is less than the angle of incidence due to light bending toward the normal in the denser medium. The other options are either too small or do not account for the refractive index difference.

A. 15 degrees
