A ray of light is incident on a plane surface separating two sheets of glass with refractive indexes 1.70 and 1.58. The angle of incidence is 62.0$^\circ$, and the ray originates in the glass with $n$ = 1.70. Compute the angle of refraction.

A ray of light is incident on a plane surface separating two transparent substances of indices 1.60 and 1.40. The angle of incidence is 30" and the ray originates in the medium of higherindex. Compute the angle of refraction.

A ray of light is incident in air on a block of a transparent solid whose index of refraction is $n$. If $n$ = 1.38, what is the $largest$ angle of incidence $\theta_a$ for which total internal reflection will occur at the vertical face (point A shown in $\textbf{Fig. P33.39}$)?
