To solve the problem of finding the angle of refraction in glass when a ray of light passes from water into glass, we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Identify the given values - Angle of incidence in water, \( i = 50^\circ \) - Refractive index of water, \( \mu_1 = \frac{4}{3} \) - Refractive index of glass, \( \mu_2 = \frac{3}{2} \) ### Step 2: Apply Snell's Law at the water-glass interface ...
