Problem 1 : Reflection and Refraction
Problem Statement:
A beam of light traveling in air n1=1 enters a glass block n2=1.5 at an angle of incidence (i) of
Solution :
- Step 1: Use Snell’s Law to find the angle of refraction
- Step 2: Substitute values:
- Step 3: Solve for
The angle of refraction ((r)) can be calculated, and it turns out to be (20^\circ). Now, let’s check if total internal reflection occurs:
- Total Internal Reflection Condition:
where θc is the critical angle. - Calculate the critical angle:
- Substitute values:
Since the angle of incidence
