Title: Calculating the angle of incidence from two indices of refraction?
Post by: Deeps39 on Jan 20, 2014
Hi there,
I'd like to ask for some guidance on the following question;
If n1 = 1.071 and n2 = 1.534, to the nearest tenth of a degree what is the angle of incidence?
I realize that Snell's law requires an angle of refraction, which is not given in the problem. Is there another way to calculate the angle of incidence from two indices of refraction?
