Question 1

A light ray in water strikes the water-air boundary with an angle of incidence of 30Β°. Calculate the angle of refraction.

πŸ’‘ Hint: Set up the relationship with Snell's law.

Question 2

If the critical angle for glass to air is approximately 42Β°, what can be inferred about the refractive index of glass?

πŸ’‘ Hint: Relate the critical angle's sine to the refractive indices.
