refraction is 19.6°. Find the angle of reflection.
Light travels from air into a glass block with an angle of incidence in air of 39.0°. The block is then submerged in a liquid and the light now travels from air, through the liquid and into the glass. When the angle of incidence in the liquid is 16.0°, the angle of refraction in the glass is the same as when the light entered the glass from air. Determine the index of refraction of the liquid.

(b) Suppose the index of refraction of the surrounding medium can be adjusted, but the incident angle of the light remains the same. As the index of refraction of the medium approaches that of the glass, what happens to the refraction angle? (c) What happens to the refraction angle when the medium’s index of refraction exceeds that of the glass?
