lead(III)oxide is commonly added to glass to increase its index of refraction.A typical leaded glass has an index of refraction of 1.81.what is the angle of refraction of a light ray in air that is incident on this type of class at an angle of 32.5

Answer:

Sure! To calculate the angle of refraction, we can use Snell's law, which states that the ratio of the sine of the angle of incidence to the sine of the angle of refraction is equal to the ratio of the indices of refraction of the two media.

The formula is:

n1 * sin(angle of incidence) = n2 * sin(angle of refraction)

In this case, the angle of incidence is 32.5 degrees and the index of refraction of air is approximately 1.00. The index of refraction of the leaded glass is 1.81.

Let's plug in the values and calculate the angle of refraction:

1.00 * sin(32.5 degrees) = 1.81 * sin(angle of refraction)

Now, we can solve for the angle of refraction.
