A beam of light is incident upon a flat piece of glass (n = 1.50)at an angle of incidence of 45 $\degree$.Part of the beam is transmitted and part is reflected.What is the angle between the reflected and transmitted rays?
A)28 $\degree$
B)73 $\degree$
C)107 $\degree$
D)152 $\degree$

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The angle between the reflected and transmitted rays is 107°. According to the law of reflection, the angle of reflection equals the angle of incidence, which is 45°. Using Snell's law, the angle of refraction can be calculated, and the angle between the reflected and refracted rays is the sum of the angle of reflection and the angle of refraction.
