Abeam of light travels from a medium with an index of refraction of 1.27 to a medium with an index of refraction of 1.46. if the incoming beam makes an angle of 14.0° with the normal, at what angle from the normal will it refract?

12.15°

Explanation:

Using Snell's law as:

Where,  

 is the angle of incidence  ( 14.0° )

is the angle of refraction  ( ? )

is the refractive index of the refraction medium  (n=1.46)

is the refractive index of the incidence medium (n=1.27)

Hence,  

Angle of refraction = = 12.15°

molecules are free to separate from each other and will take on the shape of the container. molecules move completely at random and high speeds. they vibrate in a fixed position and do not move around much. molecules expand to the edge of their container.
