46 In Fig. 33-47a, a light ray in an underlying material is incident at angle ✪ on a boundary with water, and some of the light refracts into the water. There are two choices of underlying ma- terial. For each, the angle of refraction 02 versus the incident angle is given in Fig. 33-47b. The horizontal axis scale is set by 01s = 90°. Without calculation, determine whether the index of refraction of (a) material 1 and (b) material 2 is greater or less than the index of water (n = 1.33). What is the index of refrac- tion of (c) material 1 and (d) material 2?
