STANDARD Physics Refraction MCQ Question
Refraction of light from air to glass and from air to water are shown in figure (i) and (ii) given below. The value of the angle θ in the case of refraction as shown in figure (iii) will be
30°
35°
60°
41°
Correct Answer
Detailed Explanation
Using Snell's law, the refractive indices are calculated for each medium. By equating the expressions, we find that sin θ = sin 35°, hence θ = 35°.
