Light coming from a fish makes an incidence angle of 30° to normal under the water. The index of refraction
of water is 1.33. A fisherman is looking at the fish through air. At what angle with the normal (6, ) will the fish
appear to the fisherman? Use Snell's law: n, sin e, = n, sine,
. Suppose you pass light from a laser through twoslits separated by 0.02 mm and find that the thirdbright line on a screen is formed at an angleof 16° relative to the incident beam. What is thewavelength of the light?
A beam of monochromatic light strikes the interface between air and safflower oil (n = 1.466) at angle 0; and is refracted (see figure below). The beam next strikes the safflower oil-water interface at
angle y = 23.2° and is refracted at angle t
