Question
7 t=?
Consider a cubic container of side h, filled to the rim with water of refractive
index n_water = 1.33. A light ray is incident at the edge making an angle e = 38°
with the horizontal. In terms of the height, h, and the speed of light in air, c, the
time it takes light to go from O to the bottom of the container is:
air
water|
h
d
O t= 1.14h/c
O t= 1.65h/c
t = 1.52h/c
O t= 1.45h/c
t = 1.24h/c
t = 1.1h/c
