Anthony shines a beam of light on the surface of a solution of glycerol at a certain angle. if the angle of refraction is 38°, what is the angle of incidence? the index of refraction of glycerol is 1.47, while that of air is 1.00. a. 38° b. 45° c. 55° d. 65° e. 70°

Respuesta :

Answer:

D) 65°

Step-by-step explanation:

Use Snell's Law

[tex]n_1\sin\theta_1=n_2\sin\theta_2\\\\1.00\sin\theta_1=1.47\sin38^\circ\\\\\sin\theta_1=1.47\sin38^\circ\\\\\theta_1=\sin^{-1}(1.47\sin38^\circ)\\\\\theta_1\approx64.83^\circ[/tex]

Thus, the angle of incidence is D) 65°
