Light travels from air into a glass block with an angle of incidence in air of 38.0°. The block is then submerged in a liquid and the light now travels from air, through the liquid and into the glass. When the angle of incidence in the liquid is 20.0°, the angle of refraction in the glass is the same as when the light entered the glass from air. Determine the index of refraction of the liquid.

A ray of light is incident on a pool with three layers of liquid in it at an angle of 75.0°. The top layer is 20.0m deep and has an index of refraction of 1.33. The middle layer is also 20.0m deep and has an index of refraction of 2.00. The bottom layer is 25.0m deep and has an index of refraction of 2.50.
