Question

the index of refraction for diamond is 2.5. which of the following is correct for the situation shown?

Answer 1

The options that is correct for the situation shown is
`(sin a)/(sin c)` = 1/2.5. The Option H is correct.

The index of refraction of diamond
`n_1` = 2.5,

The index of refraction of air,
`n_2` = 1

Angle in incidence = a

Angle of refraction = c

Snell's Law describes the relationship between the angles of incidence and refraction when light passes through the boundary between two different optical media, such as air and glass.

Applying the snell's law,
`n_1 {sin a} = n_2 sin c`

= 2.5 * sin a = 1 * sin c

`(sin a)/(sin c)` = 1/2.5

Therefore, the options that is correct for the situation shown is
`(sin a)/(sin c)` = 1/2.5.
