10th Class Science Light - Reflection and Refraction Question Bank Light - Reflection and Refraction

  • question_answer
    A ray of light travels from water to glass as shown below. The refractive index of water is 1.3 and the refractive index of glass is 1.5. What is the angle of refraction?

    A) \[\text{3}0.\text{7}{}^\circ \]                                   

    B) \[\text{35}.\text{3}{}^\circ \]                   

    C) \[\text{41}.\text{7}{}^\circ \]                                   

    D) \[\text{48}.\text{6}{}^\circ \]

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

    As per the given figure on pg. 16, \[{{n}_{i}}\sin i={{n}_{r}}\sin r,(1.3)\sin {{60}^{o}}=(1.5)\sin (r)\] \[\frac{13}{10}\times \frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}=\frac{3}{2}=\sin r,\sin r=0.577,r={{48.6}^{o}}\]
