The figure below shows a slab made of three different materials X, Y and Z having refractive indices nx, ny, and nz The slab is immersed in water (n=1.333) and the light is incident upon its bottom surface. a. Rank the materials according to the refractive index of the materials, greatest first.  b. Rank the materials according to the speed of light in the material, greatest/fastest first.  c. Discuss what would happen to the angle if material X and Y are swapped.  d. If  α=70.0ˆ and θ=50.0ˆ , what is the refractive index of material Z?
