AI Generated Solution

To solve the problem, we will use Snell's Law, which relates the angles of incidence and refraction to the refractive indices of the two media involved. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the Given Values:** - Refractive index of water, \( n_1 = 1.33 \) - Refractive index of glass, \( n_2 = 1.45 \) - Angle of incidence, \( i = 45^\circ \) ...
