Consider this word problem (diagram below): "Light in air (shown in blue) is incident at a 53 degree angle on a dense transparent material B (shown in green). After refraction, the light takes a path inside material B that forms a 37 degree angle with the normal line. Find "n", the index of refraction, of this material." In the diagram below, after the light passes from air (blue) into material B (green), it bends the normal line. [choose "toward" or "away from"] air n=1 53⁰ 1 B 37⁰
