Light — practice question

The diagram illustrates light moving from air into glass. The angles $v$, $w$, $x$ and $y$ are marked. Which equation is used to find the refractive index $n$ of the glass?

  • A$n = \frac{\sin v}{\sin y}$
  • B$n = \frac{\sin v}{\sin x}$
  • C$n = \frac{\sin w}{\sin y}$
  • D$n = \frac{\sin w}{\sin x}$
