Explanation / Answer

according to snells law


n1 sin theta1 = n2 sin theta2


n1 for glass = 1.56


n2 for air = 1


theta1 = 22


theta2 = ?


1.56 sin 22 = 1 x sin theta2


theta2 = 35.76 degrees


as the ray moves from denser to rayere medium then it moves away from normal


in case of total internal reflection the theta 2 will be 90 degrees


1.56 sin theta1 = 1 x sin90


theta1 = 39.87 degrees



....................................................................................................................................


for a plane mirror


the angle of reflection = angle of incidence


so if the incidence angle is cut into half then angle = 55/2 = 27.5 degrees


thus angle of reflection = angle of incidence = 27.5 degrees
