A ray of light travels through air until it strikes the interface between the air and another medium. The incident ray makes an angle of ?1 = 34.0° with the normal, as shown in the figure below. Upon passage into the second medium, the ray is refracted, emerging from the interface at an angle ?2 with respect to the normal. A light ray in air is moving down and to the right and is incident on a second medium. It makes an angle ?1 with the vertical.

Air has an index of refraction of 1.00. Water has an index of refraction of 1.33. Consider a pool of water that is perfectly calm and 3.21 meters deep. A ray of light (or a laser beam, if you like) enters the water, refracts, and ultimately hits the bottom of the pool. Find the distance between the point where the light enters the water and the point where the light hits the bottom of the pool if the angle between the ray in air and the surface of the pool is 46.4 degrees. Answer in meters.
White light enters flint glass from air (n₁ = 1). The angle of incidence is 8, = 63 degrees. Due to dispersion in the glass, the index of refraction for red light is 1.662, while the index for violet light is 1.698. Due to this difference, the violet and red parts of white light are refracted by different amounts. What is the difference in refraction angle (AO) between violet and red fin this situation?

White light strikes the left face of a 300-60°-90° glass prism along a normal to the surface (so there is no refraction there).
