AI Generated Solution

To solve the problem of a ray of light traveling from water to glass, we will use Snell's Law, which relates the angles of incidence and refraction to the refractive indices of the two media. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify Given Values**: - Angle of incidence (I) = 40° - Refractive index of water (n_w) = 1.3 - Refractive index of glass (n_g) = 1.5 ...
