37. How does the angle of incidence compare with the angle of refraction when a light ray passes from air into glass at a nonzero angle?
SOLUTION: The angle of incidence is larger than the angle of refraction, because air has a smaller index of refraction.
ANSWER: The angle of incidence is larger than the angle of refraction, because air has a smaller index of refraction.
38. How does the angle of incidence compare with the angle of refraction when a light ray leaves glass and enters air at a nonzero angle?
SOLUTION: The angle of incidence is smaller than the angle of refraction, because glass has a larger index of refraction.
ANSWER: The angle of incidence is smaller than the angle of refraction, because glass has a larger index of refraction.
