A light ray in glass (n=1.5) hits the air-glass interface at an angle of 10 degrees from the normal. What angle from the normal is the light ray in the air (n=1.0)? (You can use the small angle approximation.)

The angle from the normal is 15.1°.

Explanation:

We can find the angle by using Snell's law:

Where:

n₁: is the first medium (glass) = 1.5

n₂: is the second medium (air) = 1.0

θ₁: is the first angle (in the glass) = 10°

θ₂: is the second angle (in the air) =?

Therefore, the angle from the normal is 15.1°.

I hope it helps you!        

explanation: in any substance/object, the particles inside it (atoms/molecules) constantly move in random directions and with random speeds (this motion is called brownian motion). as a result, the particles have some kinetic energy (which is proportional to the temperature of the substance).
