Answer:
Refractive index of liquid = 1.414.
Angle of incidence for which the angle between reflected ray and refracted ray is .
Explanation:
Given:
Angle of incidence, .
Angle of refraction, .
According to Snell's law,
where,
= refractive index of air.
= refractive index of liquid.
Since, .
Therefore,
We know that the angle of incidence is equal to the angle of reflection of light.
The angle between between reflected ray and refracted ray is
Therefore,
Putting this value in the Snell's law,
This angle for which the angle between reflected ray and refracted ray is is called Brewster's angle.
