Question

state snells law of refraction.

Open in App
Solution

According to the Snell's law,

The ratio of sine of angle of incidence to the sine of angle of refraction is constant.

sine of angle of incidence(i)/sine of angle of refraction(r)=constant

this constant is called refractive index(n).

n=sin i/sin r
