Assume that $c_{1}=3 \times 10^{8} \mathrm{~m}$ per sec. Find the speed of light in the second medium for each of the following. (a) $\theta_{1}=46^{\circ}, \theta_{2}=31^{\circ}$ (b) $\theta_{1}=39^{\circ}, \theta_{2}=28^{\circ}$

Assume that this ray gives a value of $90^{\circ}$ for angle $\theta_{1}$ in the formula for Snell's law. (In a practical situation, this angle would probably be a little less than $90^{\circ}$.) The speed of light in water is about $2.254 \times 10^{8} \mathrm{~m}$ per sec. Find angle $\theta_{2}$ to the nearest tenth.
Refer to Problem 81 . Find light intensity $I$ in terms of $k$ for $\theta=20^{\circ}, \theta=50^{\circ},$ and $\theta=90^{\circ}$.
