The beam hits the glass surface at an angle of 60. What is the angle of refraction?
February 17, 2021 | education
| In accordance with the law of refraction, the ratio of the sine of the angle of incidence to the sine of the angle of refraction is a constant value. This value is called the refractive index:
n = sinα / sinβ,
whence the angle of refraction is
β = arcsin (sinα / n);
β = arcsin (sin60 ° / 1.73) = arcsin (0.5) = 30 °.
