Problem DescriptionA laser beam travels from air (n=1) into glass (n=1.5) and then into gelatin. The incident ray makes a 58.0° angle with the normal as it enters the glass and a36.4° angle with the normal as it enters the gelatin.InstructionsIn a neat and organized fashion, write out a solution which includes the following:1. A sketch of the physical situation with all given physical quantities clearly labeled.2. Draw a ray diagram showing all reflected and refracted rays in this situation and all angles clearly labeled.3. Determine (a) the angle the refracted ray makes with the normal in the glass and (b) the index of refraction of the gelatin. Clearly show all steps, startingfrom generalized equations. Explain your mathematical work in words. Your explanation should cover both what you did and the thought processbehind why you did that.4. Evaluate your answer to determine whether it is reasonable or not. Consider all aspects of your answer (the numerical value, sign, and units) in yourevaluation.

Two flat mirrors are connected to each other such that they make an angle of ψ. A laser enters the system and first reflects off the bottom mirror, then the top mirror. When the beam exits it makes an angle of θ = 106 degrees with respect to the initial beam (see figure). Write an expression for the angle, ψ, between the mirrors.
