NEET Physics (general) MCQ Question

Type: MCQ-numerical-Hard-Class 12

A plane wave is incident from air onto a medium with a refractive index of 1.5. If the angle of incidence is 30°, what is the angle of refraction?

A

19.47°

B

30°

C

41.81°

D

90°

Correct Answer

Option A

Detailed Explanation

Using Snell's Law, n1sin(i) = n2sin(r), with n1 = 1 (air), n2 = 1.5, and i = 30°, we find sin(r) = (1/1.5)*sin(30°) = 0.333. Therefore, r = 19.47°.
