उत्तर
∵ According to Snell's law of refraction:
n = `sin"i"/sin"r"`
`3/2=(sin45°)/sin"r"`
⇒ `3/2=(1//sqrt2)/sin"r"`
sin r = `2/(3sqrt2)`
= `sqrt2/3`

After a robbery, if a window has been broken, there will be tiny particles of glass. Some of these will be found at the scene of the crime and some may be caught in the thief’s clothing. If the police can prove that these particles are identical, they have a strong case.
A method of doing this is to suspend the particles of glass in a special liquid. Light of a single colour is thrown through the liquid and the particles viewed through a microscope. The temperature of the liquid is then slowly altered. This alters the speed of light through the liquid (i.e., it alters the refractive index). At one particular temperature, the particles of glass disappear. It this happens at the same temperature for both sets of glass particles, they probably came from the same broken pane of glass.
