NCERT Exercise 9.4 - Ray Optics and Optical Instruments

Question: Figures 9.27(a) and (b) show refraction of a ray in air incident at 60° with the normal to a glass-air and water-air interface, respectively. Predict the angle of refraction in glass when the angle of incidence in water is 45° with the normal to a water-glass interface [Fig. 9.27(c)]. FIGURE 9.27

Answer: **NCERT answer:** nga = 1.51; nwa = 1.32; ngw = 1.144; which gives sin r = 0.6181 i.e., r ~ 38°.
