Sunlight strikes the surface of a lake at an angle of incidence of 28°. At what angle with respect to the normal would a fish see the Sun? Index of refraction of water is 1.33.

Step 1
First, we need to find the angle of incidence with respect to the normal. Since the angle given is 289°, we can subtract 180° to find the angle between the incident ray and the normal: 289° - 180° = 109° Show more…
