Refraction of Light & Snell's Law
33. Geometric Optics / Refraction of Light & Snell's Law / Problem 1
Consider a person placing a 1.5 cm-thick vegetable oil layer on a horizontal glass surface. A laser beam in the air strikes the oil at 40° from normal. What direction, measured as an angle from normal, does the laser beam travel when it enters the glass? (Assume the refractive index of oil is 1.47 and for glass is 1.50).
