A vertically traveling light ray enters a circular piece of glass, travels L =264 mm through the glass, and then exits the glass at the lower right in the diagram below. The total deviation of the light, or the angle between the direction of the ray incident on the glass and the direction of the ray exiting the glass, is 48.00, and the distance from the original path of the light to a parallel line that passes through the center of the circle is d =76.0 mm. Find: (a) the radius of the circle (b) the glass's index of refraction.
