CSEC Physics · January 2016 · Paper 2 · Question 4(c)(i)

A ray of light passes through a block of material as shown in Figure 5.

If the refractive index of the material is 1.3, calculate the angle of refraction in the material given that the angle of incidence is 30°.

This question uses a figure or table from the paper — you'll see it when you practise.
