A light ray travels from air (n=1.00) into a crown glass (n=1.52) with an angle of incidence of 49 degrees. The light ray continues to travel through the crown glass material into the diamond (n=2.42). At what angle does the light ray make with the normal line as it enters the diamond?
Light, when incident on a given surface, presents a reflected and a refracted component. When the reflected beam is perpendicular to the refracted beam, the angle of incidence θᵢ is called Brewster's angle. If a beam of light is initially in air with index of refraction n₁ = 1 and is incident on a glass surface (index of refraction n₂ = 1.5), Brewster's angle is:
a)82.9°
b)36.3°
c)75.4°
d)62.9°
e)56.3°
f)45.7°
