To calculate the critical angle for a glass-air interface given the deviation of a ray of light, we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Understand the Problem We have a ray of light incident from air into glass. The angle of incidence (i) is given as 40°, and the ray is deviated by 15°. We need to find the critical angle (C) for the glass-air interface. ### Step 2: Calculate the Angle of Refraction The deviation (D) is defined as the difference between the angle of incidence (i) and the angle of refraction (r): \[ D = i - r \] ...
