Shown below is a ray of light going from air through crown glass into water, such as going into a fish tank. Calculate the amount the ray is displaced by the glass (Ax) given that the incidence angle is 01 = 48 degrees and the glass is 1.1 cm thick. Considering this setup, how would 03 be affected if the second medium were not present? Choose the best answer and explanation: Oit would be larger (deflected farther away from perpendicular) because the difference in indices of refraction is greater. Oit would remain the same, as long as the boundaries between the medium are parallel. Oit would be smaller (deflected further toward the perpendicular) because the difference in indices of refraction is smaller Oit would be smaller (deflected further toward the perpendicular) because the difference in indices of refraction is greater.
