everyday science MCQ #49840

  1. Question 1

    Q1. Snell's Law describes the relationship between the angles of incidence and refraction using the formula:

    • A) n1 cos θ1 = n2 cos θ2
    • B) n1 sin θ1 = n2 sin θ2
    • C) n1 tan θ1 = n2 tan θ2
    • D) n1 θ1 = n2 θ2

    Answer: n1 sin θ1 = n2 sin θ2

    Explanation: Snell's Law states that n₁ sin θ₁ = n₂ sin θ₂, where n represents the refractive index of each medium and θ represents the angle measured from the normal at the interface. This relationship describes how light bends when passing between media of different optical densities.
