Coefficient of Refraction using Critical Angle Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Coefficient of Refraction = cosec(Angle of Incidence)
μ = cosec(i)
This formula uses 2 Functions, 2 Variables

Functions Used

sec - Secant is a trigonometric function that is defined ratio of the hypotenuse to the shorter side adjacent to an acute angle (in a right-angled triangle); the reciprocal of a cosine., sec(Angle)
cosec - The cosecant function is a trigonometric function that is the reciprocal of the sine function., cosec(Angle)

Variables Used

Coefficient of Refraction - Coefficient of Refraction is quotient of the sine of the angle of incidence divided by the sine of the angle of refraction.
Angle of Incidence - (Measured in Radian) - Angle of Incidence is the angle which an incident line or ray makes with a perpendicular to the surface at the point of incidence.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Angle of Incidence: 40 Degree --> 0.698131700797601 Radian (Check conversion here)

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

μ = cosec(i) --> cosec(0.698131700797601)

Evaluating ... ...

μ = 1.55572382686065
