An underwater diver shines a flashlight from a depth of 1 m. The light hits the surface at a horizontal distance of 1 m away from the flashlight and undergoes total internal reflection so that it does not emerge in to the air above. If this is the smallest angle (from the vertical) where total internal reflection occurs, what is the index of refraction of the water? Please assume that the index of refraction of air is 1.0. air А. 0.707 В. 1.00 water C. 1.414 D. 1.175 Е. 2.00 1 m
