Two different glasses—glass A and glass B—are separated by a planar boundary as shown in the figure.The diagram is a graph with x and y axes labeled in centimeters, ranging from 1 to 9. A vertical blue line separates two regions labeled as "glass A" and "glass B." Two red lines represent the paths of light rays. One line approaches the boundary from the lower left and splits at the boundary, with part reflecting back into glass A and part refracting into glass B.A light ray—shown in the lower left part of the figure—approaches and then hits the boundary. Part of the ray reflects back to glass A, part of the ray enters glass B. The index of refraction of glass A is \( n_A = 1.100 \). Determine the index of refraction of glass B. (Notice that the lines representing the light rays travel through grid intersection points.)

To determine the index of refraction of glass B, we can use Snell's Law, which relates the angles…
