Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

A light ray strikes the surface of water at an angle of incidence of 30 degrees. If the refractive index of water is 1.33, calculate the angle of refraction.

💡 Hint: Use the sine function to move from angles to refraction.

Question 2

If diamond has a refractive index of 2.42, determine how light entering from air bends at the boundary.

💡 Hint: Remember the order of densities for interpreting the change.
