Light travels from rarer medium to denser medium. The angles of incidence as well as refraction are 45oand 30o. Calculate refractive index of second medium with respect to first medium.
The angle of incidence, i=45o
The angle of refraction, r=30o
To find the refractive index of the second medium with respect to the first medium:
Refractive index, 12=sin i sin r
=sin 45o sin 30o =1 212
=2=1.414
