REFRACTION WORKSHEET
1. Calculate the speed of light in (A) fluorite (B) cubic zirconia (C) diamond.

2. The speed of light in a certain plastic is 2.00 x 108 m/s. What is the index of
refraction of this plastic?

3. Light is incident upon a piece of crown glass from air at a 45° angle. (A) What is the
angle of refraction? (B) Some of the light is reflected from the glass. What is the
angle of reflection?

4. A light ray travels from air into a liquid. The ray is incident to the liquid at 30° and
the angle of refraction is 22°. What is the index of refraction of the liquid?

5. A ray of light in flint glass is incident onto water at an angle of 24°. At what angle
does the light ray enter the water?

6. Light travels through water at 2.2506 x 108 m/s. A person shines a light at a friend
that is underwater. If the ray in the water makes an angle of 38° with the normal,
what is the angle of incidence?

7. Use the following diagram and calculate the θ1 and θ2. The index of refraction for oil
is 1.48. θ1
