Light Rays That Hit the Surface of a Block of Plexiglas

Question 125

Multiple Choice

Light rays that hit the surface of a block of Plexiglas are bent, or refracted, according to Snell's Law:
N1sin θ\theta 1 = n2sin θ\theta 2.
Find the angle of refraction θ\theta 2 of Plexiglas if its refraction index n2 = 1.51, the refraction index of air n1 = 1, and light enters the Plexiglas at an angle ?1 = 53°. Round your answer to 1 decimal place.
