To solve the question regarding the behavior of light when it reflects and refracts at the surface of water, we can break it down into two parts: reflection and refraction. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding the Incident Light**: - The light has a wavelength of 5000 Å (Angstroms) in air. - The speed of light in air (approximately) is \( c = 3 \times 10^8 \) m/s. ...
