    Physics on Khan Academy: Physics is the study of the basic principles that govern the physical world around us. We'll start by looking at motion itself. Then, we'll learn about forces, momentum, energy, and other concepts in lots of different physical situations. To get the most out of physics, you'll need a solid understanding of algebra and a basic understanding of trigonometry.
    About Khan Academy: Khan Academy offers practice exercises, instructional videos, and a personalized learning dashboard that empower learners to study at their own pace in and outside of the classroom. We tackle math, science, computer programming, history, art history, economics, and more. Our math missions guide learners from kindergarten to calculus using state-of-the-art, adaptive technology that identifies strengths and learning gaps. We've also partnered with institutions like NASA, The Museum of Modern Art, The California Academy of Sciences, and MIT to offer specialized content.

  • @MrChin000
    @MrChin000 13 ปีที่แล้ว

    Thank you! But I have one question. In the second example another formula I am familiar with to find refractive index is sin i/sin r = n . Isn't the angle of incidence 30° and the angle of refraction is 40°? Therefore the refractive index of the unknown medium = sin 30°/sin 40° = 0.78?

    I understand where you are coming from. But you have to understand that when we are talking about the refractive index of a material we are saying that when light travels from air(or preferably a vacuum) into that material. So in essence, you are kinda using the 40° as the incident ray.

    • @ojas24singh25
      @ojas24singh25 7 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      critical angle is the angle of incidence in the denser medium corresponding to which the angle of refraction in the rarer medium is 90 degree.

    Hey, I'm doing physics right now and I'm not that good at maths.. I was just wondering if you have a video that teaches how to solve for theta in that equation because I can get the equation but I don't know how to solve it. (sorry if it sounds stupid) :\
    Would anyone know what the topic I should practise in maths to get better at this would be?
    Thanks heaps btw, you're video's are great!

    YOUR CALCULATION IN THE SECOND EXAMPLE IS INCORRECT! the absolute refractive index is supposed to be 0.78 where sin 30 is divided by sin 40. you made a mistake and did it the other way around. the refractive index is equal to the sine of incident angle divided by the sine of refractive angle.
