When a light ray crosses from water into glass, it emerges at an angle of 30° with respect to the normal of the interface. What is its angle of incidence? I used Snell's Law to find the angle of incidence as 34.8 degrees (rounded to 3 sig fig), using index of refraction for water as 1.333 and for glass as 1.52. However, the answer was marked as wrong. Could you please explain steps for solving to get theta as approximately 42 degrees?
