Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

A light beam enters a glass block (n = 1.5) from air (n = 1) at an angle of 45 degrees. Calculate the angle of refraction.

💡 Hint: Use inverse sine to find the angle.

Question 2

If an incident beam creates a 30-degree angle with the normal in air and results in a reflected angle of 30 degrees but refracts at 20 degrees, calculate the refractive index of the second medium.

💡 Hint: Remember to manipulate the sine function properly.
