Transcribed Image Text:A person with a height of 1.4 meters stands at the edge of a lake that is 2.8 meters deep, d = 2.8 m. A snapping turtle appears to be 3.4 meters from the edge of the lake.
Note that the dotted lines show were the light appears to be originating, that is, where the image of the turtle is formed. The light is coming from the turtle, through the water, refracting into the air, and then to the person
on the shore.
What is the angle of refraction for the light .
