ASAP A light wave travels through glass (n=1.50) at an angle of 35°. What angle
does it have when it passes from the glass into the air (n = 1.0)?
A. 59.4
B. 0.860
C. 22.5
D. 0.382

A. 59.4

Explanation:

The refractive index of the glass, n₁ = 1.50

The angle of incidence of the light, θ₁ = 35°

The refractive index of air, n₂ = 1.0

Snell's law states that n₁·sin(θ₁) = n₂·sin(θ₂)

Where;

θ₂ = The angle of refraction of the light, which is the angle the light will have when it passes from the glass into the air

Therefore;

θ₂ = arcsin(n₁·sin(θ₁)/n₂)

Plugging in the values of n₁, n₂ and θ₁ gives;

θ₂ = arcsin(1.50 × sin(35°)/1.0) ≈ 59.357551° ≈ 59.4°

The angle the light will have when it passes from the glass into the air, θ₂ ≈ 59.4°.

layers of the earth affect the waves and these effects are seen on instruiments such as seimometers

neither accurate nor precise.
