To find the critical angle when a glass slab is immersed in water, we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Understand the concept of critical angle The critical angle is the angle of incidence above which total internal reflection occurs when light travels from a denser medium to a rarer medium. The critical angle (C) can be calculated using Snell's law. ### Step 2: Use Snell's Law Snell's law states that: \[ ...
