If a ray of light travels from air (n=1) into crown glass (n=1.523) with an angle of refraction that is 17 degrees, what is the angle of incidence for the ray? Round the answer to whole degrees.

Step 1
We know that the ray of light travels from air to crown glass, so we have the refractive indices for both mediums: n1 = 1 (air) and n2 = 1.523 (crown glass). Show more…
