To solve the problem of finding the angle of the refracted wavefront with the horizontal when a plane wavefront is incident at an angle of \(37^\circ\) with the horizontal, we will use Snell's law. Here are the steps: ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the Given Information:** - The angle of incidence (\(i\)) with respect to the normal is \(37^\circ\). - The refractive index of air (\(\mu_1\)) is \(1\). - The refractive index of the second medium (\(\mu_2\)) is \(\frac{3}{2}\). ...
