Question

Glass is semi circular. I am shining the light through the curved side and then measuring the refraction when it leaves the glass block at the flat side.

a.) solve the index of refraction of the glass using table 2 (through the curved side). 

b.) find the critical angle

c.) find the velocity of light inside the glass

The scenario:
A ray of light strikes the center of the (a) flat surface and (b) curved
surface of a semicircular glass medium with the angle of incidences in
degrees of 10, 20, 30, 40 and 50.
The angles of refraction for each angle of incidence and for each surface
were:
(a) flat surface
Angle of incidence (deg) | Angle of Refraction (deg)
| 6
| 12
| 19
| 25
| 30

40
50
(b) curved surface
Angle of incidence (deg) | Angle of Refraction (deg)
| 16
| 31
| 50
| 73
| N/A
10
20
30
