As light shines from air to another medium, i = 26.0 º. The light bends toward the normal and refracts at 32.0 º. What is the index of refraction?


A)0.827

B)0.944

C)1.21

D)1.06

The equation for the index of
refraction is n = sin(theta1)/sin(theta2) where theta1 is the refracted angle and
theta2 is the angle in a medium. Plugging in the values for the index of
refraction, n = sin(32)/sin(26) we get 1.21. the answer is letter C. The index
of refraction is always greater than 1.

That answer is wrong it is not 1.21 just turned it in and was wrong
