Snell's Law: A light beam having a wavelength of 470 nm in air is directed into glycerine at an angle of 75.0° with the normal in air. Glycerine has a refractive index of 1.47. (c = 3.0 × 108 m/s)(a) What are the frequency and wavelength of the light in the glycerine?(b) What angle does the light beam make with the normal in the glycerine?

What will be an ideal response?


(a) 6.38 × 1014 Hz, 320 nm (b) 41.1°
