θ₃ is 27.12°
Step-by-step explanation:
Using Snell's law:
n₁ sin θ₁ = n₂ sin θ₂
where,
n₁ = refractive index of material with incident light
n₂ = refractive index of material with refracted light
(a)
1 → air
2 → glas
3 → water
n(water) = n₃ = 1.333
From air to glass,
n₁ sin θ₁ = n₂sin θ₂
The angle of refraction 2 is the angle of incidence when the light comes from glass to water.
From glass to water:
n₁ sin θ₁ = n₃ sin θ₃
1 X sin 37.5° = 1.333 sin θ₃
sin θ₃ = sin (37.5)/ 1.333
sin θ₃ = 0.456
θ₃ = 27.12°
Therefore, θ₃ is 27.12°
