### Refraction and Wavelength Separation in Water

**RR-1**: Any material can separate the different wavelengths present in white light because the index of refraction for each wavelength is slightly different. For red light in water, the index of refraction \(n = 1.331\), and for blue light in water, \(n = 1.340\).

#### Questions:

a) **Find the angle from the normal in water for red light that enters the water from air at an angle of 80.00°.**

b) **Find the angle from the normal in water for blue light that enters the water from air at an angle of 80.00°.**

c) **Draw a figure like the one shown and show the incident ray and the refracted rays for both colors. Label the rays as "red" and "blue".**

#### Diagram Explanation:

The diagram illustrates a light ray entering from air (with a refractive index of 1.000) into water. The incident angle relative to the normal (perpendicular line) is 80.00°. The diagram is a side view indicating the change in direction of light as it moves from air into water, causing refraction.

- **Incident Ray**: The ray coming from the air at an angle of 80.00°.
- **Refracted Rays**: The diagram should show two lines within the water, bent towards the normal. One represents red light (bent less due to a lower refractive index) and the other represents blue light (bent more due to a higher refractive index). Red and blue rays should be labeled accordingly.
