Question

Which statement is correct?

  1. The speed of light in glass is equal to the speed of light in a vacuum multiplied by the refractive index of glass.

  2. The incident angle of a light ray at an air-glass surface is the angle between the ray and the glass surface.

  3. The sine of the critical angle at an air-glass surface is equal to   1/refractive index of glass

  4. The angle of refraction for light passing through an air-glass surface is proportional to the angle of incidence at that surface.
