To solve the problem of drawing a ray diagram showing the path of rays of light when it enters with oblique incidence from air into water and from water into air, we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Draw the Interface - Start by drawing a horizontal line to represent the interface between air and water. Label the top part as "Air" and the bottom part as "Water". ### Step 2: Indicate the Refractive Indices - Write the refractive index of air (n1) as 1 and the refractive index of water (n2) as approximately 1.33. ...
