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.
