. A15-cm-deep opaque container is empty except for a single coin resting on its bottom surface. When looking into the container at a viewing angle of 50° relative to the vertical side of the container, you see nothing on the bot- tom. When the container is filled with water, you see the coin (from the same viewing angle) on the bottom of, and just beyond, the side of the container. (See Fig. 22.24.) How far is the coin from the side of the container?

*One nanometer (nm) is 10-9 m.
*Crown glass is a soda-lime silicate glass; flint glass is a lead-alkali silicate
glass. Flint glass is more dispersive than crown glass (Section 22.5).

0. A 15-cm-deep opaque container is empty except for a
single coin resting on its bottom surface. When looking
into the container at a viewing angle of 50° relative to the
vertical side of the container, you see nothing on the bot-
tom. When the container is filled with water, you see the
coin (from the same viewing angle) on the bottom of, and
just beyond, the side of the container. (See Fig. 22.24.)
