Prove the following statements.
a. If the angle of incidence and angle of emergence of a light ray falling on a glass slab are i and e respectively, prove that, i=e.
Answers
Answer:
Angle of Incidence means the angle by which light is hitting on the surface and get reflected to some angle.
Refer to the Attachment
Let ABCD is the glass slab
Assume that the air Index and glass index = n₁ and n₂
From the diagram ,
Consider a light ray WX makes the ∠i on the surface AB.
Reflected light XY to the Normal NN' makes the angle ∠r₁
Refracted light YZ outside the slab CD makes the angle ∠₂
Here we observe that AB and CD are parallel and XY is transversel.
Applying snell law on first surface (AB) & CD we get simultaneously
-----→(a)
----→(b)
On multiplying eq. (a) & (b) , we get
or
Hence,
sin i = sin e
∴
Hence proved.
