The name of the liquid used.
Answer to Problem 47A
Water
Explanation of Solution
Given:
The angle of incidence of the light beam,
The angle of refraction of the light beam,
Formula used:
Snell’s law of refraction,
Where,
Calculation:
It is known that,
Index of refraction of air,
Then, using Snell’s law of refraction, index of refraction of the liquid will be,
From the table 1, it can be seen that water has the index of refraction as
Conclusion:
Hence, the liquid used for the given case is water.
