Question
Background: A group of physics students are playing with lasers. The laser they have decided to use emits a 400 nm
Question 19: This laser light bounces from a mirror, continues through air, n = 1.0, to a piece of glass, n = 1.5, at an angle of 25° from the normal. What will be the lasers refracted angle inside the glass?

Since the indices of refraction of air and water are different, the light rays coming from the diver and the instructor are refracted at the surface, changing their apparent position with respect to each other. The diver sees the instructor at an apparent angle of θa = 26°, measured from the normal to the interface. Randomized Variables θa = 26° a) Find the height of the instructor’s head above the water in meters, noting that you will first have to calculate the angle of incidence (you can take the indices of refraction to be na = 1 for air and nw = 1.33 for water). b) Find the apparent depth of the diver’s head below water as seen by the instructor in meters, assuming the diver and his image both have the same horizontal distance along the surface of the water.arrow_forward38.
