Question

Figure P22.26 shows a light
ray incident on a series
of slabs having different
refractive indices, where
n ₁ < n₂ < n ₃ < n ₄. Notice
that the path of the ray
steadily bends toward the
normal. If the variation
in n were continuous, the
path would form a smooth
curve. Use this idea and a ray diagram to explain why you can
see the Sun at sunset after it has fallen below the horizon.
