What best describes why the critical angle of an air-glass boundary is 39.3?
The critical angle depends on the index of refraction of the two substances, in this case, air and glass. The angle can be calculated by Snell's Law. It won't always be exactly 39.3°, since different glasses have different indices of refraction.
As a ray of light passes from air into glass the angle it makes with the surface normal will?
REFLECTION... (this is the right answer for: A ray of light strikes a flat surface of water. The angle that the reflected light ray makes with the normal is called the angle of? )if not incident ray.
Does light go through glass or reflect?
Light can both go through and reflect off of glass. When light passes through glass, it is transmitting through the material. However, if the angle of incidence is steep, light can reflect off the surface of the glass.
When white light travels through a glass prism which colour is refracted through the largest angle?
Violet light is refracted through the largest angle when white light passes through a glass prism because it has the shortest wavelength of all the colors in the visible spectrum.
A light wave passes at an angle through a chunk of glass into the air. What happens to it in respect to the normal Why?
The light wave will refract (bend) as it passes from the glass to the air. This is because the speed of light changes when it enters a medium of different optical density, causing the path of the light wave to bend at an angle. The bending occurs due to the change in the velocity of light in the two mediums, causing it to deviate from the normal.
How does the angle of incidence compare with the angle of refraction when light passes obliquely from air to glass?
same problem dude..

When light passes at an angle from air to glass do the light changes direction due to refraction?
yes light changes its direction when it passes form air to glass due to refraction of light coz air has less density n glass is a solid so it has more density due to that when light goes form air to glass then its speed decreases n its always bends towords the normal. but if light will go perpendicularly form air to glass then it will not change its direction.

Is there a critical angle for angle for light going from glass to water?
Yes, there is a critical angle for light transitioning from glass to water. The critical angle occurs when light moves from a medium with a higher refractive index (glass) to one with a lower refractive index (water). If the angle of incidence exceeds this critical angle, total internal reflection occurs, meaning no light passes into the water. The critical angle can be calculated using Snell's Law.
Light traveling from air into glass has an angle of 45 degrees The angle of refraction in the glass is most likely?
The angle of refraction in the glass is likely to be less than 45 degrees since light bends towards the normal when it passes from a less dense medium (air) to a denser medium (glass). The exact angle of refraction can be calculated using Snell's Law: n₁sinθ₁ = n₂sinθ₂, where n₁ and n₂ are the refractive indices of air and glass, respectively.
When a ray of light passes from air to glass for what angle of incidence the ray will not be deviated?
Angle of incidence has to be 0. This means that the ray has to hit normally on the surface of separation of two media

What is the formula for finding the lateral displacement of an incident ray when it passes through a glass slab?
The lateral displacement (D) of an incident ray passing through a glass slab can be calculated using the formula D = t * sin(i - r), where t is the thickness of the glass slab, i is the angle of incidence, and r is the angle of refraction. This formula takes into account the deviation of the ray as it passes through the glass slab.
When white light travels through a glass prism which colour is refracted through the largest angle?
Violet light is refracted through the largest angle when white light passes through a glass prism because it has the shortest wavelength of all the colors in the visible spectrum.
How does a magnifying glass make objects appear bigger?
A magnifying glass works by bending the light that passes through it, causing the light rays to converge and creating a larger image of the object. This magnified image is then projected onto the retina, making the object appear bigger to the observer.
