Problem

54. The angle of refraction of a ray of light traveling into an ice cube from air is 38°. Find the angle of incidence.

ANSWER:

Step 1 of 4

(a)

In the given case,we need to explain whether the angle of incidence increases, decreases, or remains same when the air-ice interface changes into air-water interface after ice melts.

Let the light rays enters a container of ice cube or water from air at an angle to the normal, and the refracted ray makes an angle with the normal.
