1.

The angle of incidence in the air is 35 degrees and the angle of refraction in the material is 14 degrees. How would you set up the equation to find the index of refraction?
 n1sin(θ1)=n2sin(θ2)n_1\sin\left(\theta_1\right)=n_2\sin\left(\theta_2\right)  

a)

1.0003 sin (14) = n sin (35)

b)

1.0003 sin (35) = n sin (14)

c)

n sin (14) = 1.0003 sin (35)

d)

n sin (35) = 1.0003 sin (14)

d)

GLASS: n = 1.52
