Question

A light ray enters a solid glass sphere of refractive index μ=√3 at an angle of incidence 60°. The ray is both reflected and refracted at the farther surface of the sphere. The angle (in degrees) between the reflected and refracted rays at this surface is _____________.

Correct answer: 90. Apply Snell's law at S_ 1sin 60°=√3sin r sin r=1/2 r=30° from geometry r^(')=30° Again apply snell's law on S_2 √3sinr^(')=1sine √32=sine ∴e=60° from geometry r^(')+θ+e=180° θ=90°

A light ray enters a solid glass sphere of refractive index $μ = \sqrt{3}$ at an angle of incidence $60 °$ . The ray is both reflected and refracted at the farther surface of the sphere. The angle (in degrees) between the reflected and refracted rays at this surface is _____________.
