Calculate the angle of incidence of light ray incident of surface of a plastic slab of refractive index √3, if the angle of refraction is 30°.

Given;

Angle of refraction(r) = 300.


Angle of incidence = i.


Refractive index (μ) = √3.


Refractive index (μ) =


√3 =


√3 = 2×sin i




Hence angle of incidence is 60°.
