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

  • question_answer
    A ray of light travels from water to air as shown below. Given that the refractive index of air is 1.0 and the refractive index of water is 1.3, what is the angle of incidence?

    A) \[\text{22}.\text{6}{}^\circ \]

    B) \[\text{23}.\text{1}{}^\circ \]                   

    C) \[\text{39}.0{}^\circ \]                                 

    D) \[\text{4}0.\text{5}{}^\circ \]

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

    As per the given figure on page 11, \[{{n}_{i}}\sin i={{n}_{r}}sin\,r,(1.3)\sin \,(i)=(1)\sin {{30}^{o}}\] \[\frac{13}{10}\sin i=\frac{1}{2}=0.3846,i={{22.6}^{o}}\]
