    A ray of light travels from water to air as shown below. Given that the refractive index of air is 1.0, what is the refractive index of glass?

    A) 1.2                                        

    B) 1.3                        

    C) 1.4                                        

    D) 1.5

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

    As per the given figure on page 12, \[{{n}_{1}}\sin i={{n}_{r}}\sin r,({{n}_{i}})\sin {{40}^{o}}=(1)\sin {{74.6}^{o}}\] \[{{n}_{1}}=\frac{\sin {{74.6}^{o}}}{\sin {{40}^{o}}}=\frac{0.9617}{0.6428'}{{n}_{1}}=1.5\]
