A ray of light was in water (n = 1.333) enters into a block of glass (n = 1.530) at a 25.0° angle of incidence, and it is refracted at an angle θ of refraction. a) Determine the angle θ. b) What is the speed of light in the glass?

$\bullet$ A beam of light strikes a sheet of glass at an angle of $57.0^{\circ}$ with the normal in air. You observe that red light makes an angle of $38.1^{\circ}$ with the normal in the glass, while violet light makes a $36.7^{\circ}$ angle. (a) What are the indexes of refraction of this glass for these colors of light? (b) What are the speeds of red and violet light in the glass?
