Answer:
Refractive index of second material will be 1.41
Explanation:
It is given refractive index of first material, that is air
Angle of incidence = 41.1°
Angle of refraction from second material = 27.7°
We have to find the refractive index of second material.
Now from Snell’s law
So refractive index of second material will be equal to 1.4
