Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

A beam of light enters a new medium at 45Β° and bends to 30Β°. Find the refractive index. Discuss what this value implies about the medium.

πŸ’‘ Hint: Use the sine relationship and analyze the implications of density.

Question 2

Consider light transitioning from glass to water. Given the refraction angles, analyze how the refractive indices could differ and impact sight.

πŸ’‘ Hint: Think about how each medium affects light perception and bending.
