Light traveling in water and strikes a glass plate at an angle Ø 40°, where is measured between the incoming 'ray and the glass surface. Upon striking the glass, part of the beam is reflected, and part is refracted. If the angle between the refracted beam and boundary is 50°. What is the refractive index of the glass? Explain your answer with drawing. Notes that the refractive index of water is 1.55.
