  1. Question 1

    Q1. Snell's Law of refraction is expressed as:

    • A) n₁cosθ₁ = n₂cosθ₂
    • B) n₁sinθ₁ = n₂sinθ₂
    • C) n₁tanθ₁ = n₂tanθ₂
    • D) n₁/sinθ₁ = n₂/sinθ₂

    Answer: n₁sinθ₁ = n₂sinθ₂

    Explanation: Snell's Law describes the relationship between the angles of incidence and refraction when light passes between two media of different refractive indices: n₁sinθ₁ = n₂sinθ₂, where n₁ and n₂ are the refractive indices of the first and second medium respectively, and θ₁ and θ₂ are the angles measured.
