Jaya is trying to measure the depth d of the water column in a circular well (radius R = 0.55 m) that is used for storing drinking water. She holds a laser pointer in the air (nā = 1.00) so that it strikes the center of the top surface of the water column (nā = 1.33). Then she adjusts the angle of incidence so that the laser strikes a point along the circumference of the well when it reaches the bottom. This occurs when the angle of incidence is Īøā = 8.9°. What is the depth d of the water column? Be sure to include the angles of incidence and reflection in your representation.
