Answer 2

Answer: 1.50

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

C (critical angle) = 41.7°

n (index of refraction in benzene) = 2.42

n (index of refraction in benzene) = ?

To get the index of refraction in benzene, Apply the formula n = 1/sineC,

n = 1/sine41.7°

n = 1/sine 41.7°

n = (1/0.6652)

n = 1.50

Thus, the index of refraction for the ray in benzene is 1.50
