Question

((PLEASE HELP))

What does 02 represent?

index of refraction
index of reflection
angle of incidence
angle of refraction

Answer 1

Angle of refraction

Step-by-step explanation:

The incident ray is the ray before it reaches the surface.

The refracted ray is the ray after it reaches the surface.

n₁ is called the index of incidence.

n₂ is called the index of refraction.

θ₁ is called the angle of incidence.

θ₂ is called the angle of refraction.

They are related by Snell's law:

n₁ sin θ₁ = n₂ sin θ₂

Answer 2

Angle of refraction

Step-by-step explanation:

The angle θ2 represents the angle of refraction.

Refraction is the change in direction of light rays as it passes from one medium to another. As light rays passes from one medium to another, it changes direction.

If the incident light is passing from the less dense medium to denser medium, the refracted ray will bend towards the normal. In this case the angle of refraction 'r' is always less than the angle if incidence. (According to the diagram)

Similarly, If the incident light is passing from the denser medium to less dense medium, the refracted ray will bend away from the normal. In this case the angle of refraction 'r' is always greater than the angle of incidence.
