Question

Transcribed Image Text:+ Refraction through Plastic and Water
A plate of plastic with parallel faces having a refractive index of 1.50 is resting on the
surface of water in a tank. A ray of light coming from above in air makes an angle of
incidence 34.0 with the normal to the top surface of the plastic. (Figure 1)
