Light ray refracting at a boundary where \(n_1 > n_2\).
Light ray refracting at a boundary where \(n_1 > n_2\).
A monochromatic beam of light traveling in Medium 1 with index of refraction \(n_1\) enters Medium 2 with index of refraction \(n_2\), where \(n_1 > n_2\). The angle of incidence relative to the normal is \(\theta_1\) and the angle of refraction is \(\theta_2\). Which of the following graphs best represents \(\sin\theta_2\) as a function of \(\sin\theta_1\) for incident angles from \(0^\circ\) up to \(90^\circ\)?
