Question 1 Report

Two rays of light from a point below the surface of water are equally inclined to each other at \(60^\circ\) in water. What is the angle between the rays when they emerge into air? (Take the refractive index of water to be \(\frac{4}{3}\))

41.8o

44.1o

60.0o

83.6o

120.0o

Answer Details

\frac{4}{3}

\frac{s i n r_{1}}{s i n 30}

and

\frac{4}{3}

\frac{s i n r_{2}}{s i n 30}

r1 = 41.8o and r2 = 41.8o

angle between them = r1 + r2

= 83.6o
