parallel. Which statement below is true?
Select one:

The incident ray makes a 58.0o angle with the normal in the air before it enters the glass and a 36.4o angle with the normal after it enters the gelatin. In a neat and organized fashion, write out a solution which includes the following: A sketch of the physical situation with all given physical quantities clearly labeled. Draw a ray diagram showing all reflected and refracted rays in this situation and all angles clearly labeled. Determine (a) the angle the refracted ray makes with the normal in the glass and (b) the index of refraction of the gelatin. Clearly show all steps, starting from generalized equations.
