What is the refractive index of a material that produces an incident angle of 29degrees and refractive angle of 30 degrees? Using Snell's law
To find the refractive index of a material using Snell's Law, we need to know the incident angle (θ1) and the refracted angle (θ2).
Snell's Law states:
n1 * sin(θ1) = n2 * sin(θ2)
where n1 is the refractive index of the first material (from which light is coming) and n2 is the refractive index of the second material (into which light is entering).
In this case, we have the incident angle θ1 = 29 degrees and the refracted angle θ2 = 30 degrees.
To find the refractive index, we can rearrange Snell's Law to solve for n2:
n2 = n1 * sin(θ1) / sin(θ2)
Since we do not know the refractive index of the first material (n1) or have any other information, we cannot calculate the refractive index of the material.
