A scuba diver stands at the bottom of a lake that is 16 m deep. What is the distance to the closest points at the bottom of the lake that the diver can see due to light from these points being totally reflected by the water surface? The height of the diver is 1.9 m and n-water = 1.33. (Please provide a diagram and steps.)

A ray of light strikes a flat glass block at an incidence angle of ?1 = 34.4°. The glass is 2.00 cm thick and has an index of refraction that equals ng = 1.20. A light ray incident on a glass block of thickness 2.00 cm is shown. The ray travels down and to the right and is incident to the top of the block at an angle ?1 to the normal of the surface. The ray inside the block moves down and to the right but at a steeper slope than the incident ray, making an angle of ?2 with the vertical. It is incident on the bottom surface of the block, making an angle of ?3 with the vertical, and exits moving down and to the right, at a less steep slope, making an angle of ?4 with the vertical.
