- (b) When light is incident on an interface between two materials with different index of refraction, the angle of the refracted ray depends on the wavelength. However, the angle of the reflected ray does not depend on the wavelength at all. Explain why this happens.arrow_forward(II) An aquarium filled with water has flat glass sides whose index of refraction is 1.54. A beam of light from outside the aquarium strikes the glass at a 43.5° angle to the perpendicular (Fig. 23–56). What is the angle of this light ray when it enters (a) the glass, and then (b) the water? (c) What would be the refracted angle if the ray entered the water directly?

The watcher is level with the fish; the index of re- fraction of the glass is 8/5, and that Watcher of the water is 4/3. The distances are di = 8.0 cm, dz = 3.0 cm, and dz = 6.8 cm. (a) To the fish, how far away does the watcher appear to be? (Hint: The watcher is the object. Light from that object passes through the wall's outside surface, which acts as a refracting sur- face. Find the image produced by that surface. Then treat that im- age as an object whose light passes through the wall's inside sur- face, which acts as another refracting surface.)
