Problem

A scientist directs a laser beam from air toward an unknown plastic sample. The incident angle in air is 30°, and the laser refracts inside the plastic at an angle of 19° to the normal. What is the best estimate of the index of refraction of the plastic? a) n=1.33n = 1.33 b) n=1.68n = 1.68 c) n=1.54n = 1.54 d) n=1.58n = 1.58
