Q12 of 45 Page 302

A ray from medium 1 is refracted below while passing to medium 2. Find the refractive index of the second medium with respect to medium 1.


Given,


The angle of incidence (i) =30o


The angle of refraction (r) = 45o


According to Snell’s law or the law of refraction,







Hence, the refractive index of medium 1 ( is times the refractive index of medium 2 (.
