A scuba diver training in a pool looks at his instructor as shown in the figure. The angle
between the ray in the water and the perpendicular to the water is : 25°.
(a) What angle does the ray from the instructor's face make with the perpendicular to
the water at the point where the ray enters?
Angle,
34.190
(b) Find the height, H, of the instructor's head above the water, noting that you will first
have to calculate the angle of incidence. Note the scuba diver perceives the instructor as
though the incident ray never refracted.
Height,

m
(c) Find the apparent depth, x, of the diver's head below water as seen by the instructor.
In the figure, d=2.00 m
Note the instructor perceives the diver as though the incident ray never refracted.
Apparent depth, a: 1.50
No, that's only partially correct

A piece of glass (n=1.50) is submerged under water (n=1.33). A ray of light starts in the glass and hitsthe surface between the glass and water at an angle 23° from the normal to the surface (while still inthe glass). What is the angle between the light path and the normal when the ray enters the water?
A beam of light passes from glass with refractive index 1.58 into water with a refractive index 1.33. The angle of the refracted ray in water is 58.0o .
a) Draw a sketch of the situation showing the interface between the media, the normal line, the incident ray, the reflected ray, the refracted ray, and the angles of these rays relative to the normal line.
b) Calculate the angle of incidence in the glass.
