We fill an aquarium with water. We illuminate the surface of the water with a red laser.
a) The laser is oriented perpendicular to the surface of the water. What is the value of the
angle of incidence?
b) Using Descartes' second law, deduce the value of the angle of refraction
c) We now illuminate the water surface with an incidence of 45°. What will be the value
of the angle of refraction?
Data: refractive index of water𝑛𝑒𝑎𝑢 = 1.33
Exercise 2
One of the rays of a beam of light, propagating through the air, and arriving on a flat surface
of glass. Data: refractive index of glass𝑛𝑣𝑒𝑟𝑟𝑒 = 1.52
1. Diagram the situation illustrating the phenomenon of refraction.
2. Write Descartes' second law.
3. Deduce the value of the angle of incidence making it possible to obtain an angle of
refraction of 20°.
