Light travels from air (n = 1.00) into a "mystery" material. The incident ray of light hits the surface at angle of 43^o and the refracted ray enters the mystery material at an angle of 27^o. What is the index of refraction of the mystery material? n₁sin(Θ₁) = n₂sin(Θ₂)

• 1.5

• 1.0

• 0.67

• 2.1

Light travels from air (n = 1.00) into a second material. The incident ray of light hits the surface at angle of 64^o and the refracted ray enters the second material at an angle of 32^o. What is the index of refraction of the second material? n₁sin(Θ₁) = n₂sin(Θ₂)

• 1.4

• 0.90

• 0.53
