How do i find the angle given the index of refraction for physics?
Q. Light from a street lamp strikes the community frog pond at an angle of 59 degrees to the normal. If the index of refraction for the pond water is 1.32, at what angle is the light refracted into the pond? Thanks!
Asked by <3 - Tue May 25 09:53:10 2010 - - 2 Answers - 0 Comments

A. n1 sin(theta1) = n2 sin(theta2) 1 * sin(59 deg) = 1.32 * sin(theta2) 0.8572 = 1.32 * sin(theta2) sin(theta2) = 0.8572/1.32 = 0.6494 theta2 = sin^-1(0.6494) = 40.5 deg Ans: 40.5 deg to the normal ___.
