Answer :
The angle of refraction, when light passes from air into water at an angle of 60° from the normal, is 40.6°
What is Snell's law?
It states that the ratio of sine of angle of incidence and angle of refraction is equal to the refractive index of second medium to the first medium.
sini/sinr =n₂ / n₁
Given, the light passes from air into water at an angle of 60° from the normal, the angle of incidence i = 60°, refractive index of air n₁ =1, refractive index of water n₂ = 1.333, then the angle of refraction is
sinr = sini x (n₁/n₂)
Plug the values, we get
sinr = sin60 x (1/1.333)
sinr = 40.6°
The angle of refraction is less than angle of incidence due to refraction.
Thus, the angle of refraction is 40.6°
