The rectangular solid is made of two blocks of different materials: - The top block (medium 1) has thickness t1 = 1.37 cm and index of refraction n1 = 1.66 - The bottom block (medium 2) has thickness t2 = 8.5 cm and index of refraction n2 = 2.28 A ray of light traveling in air (n = 1.00) strikes the top of the solid at angle of incidence 0, = 28.3°. Find D, the horizontal displacement of the light ray (the horizontal distance from the point at which the light enters the top block to the point at which the light leaves the block), in cm. Assume: as in the diagram, the ray does not reach the end of the blocks.

Refer to diagram 1.
The rectangular solid is made of two blocks of different materials:
- The top block (medium 1) has thickness t1 = 1.37 cm and index of refraction n1 = 1.66
- The bottom block (medium 2) has thickness tɔ = 8.5 cm and index of refraction n2 = 2.28
A ray of light traveling in air (n = 1.00) strikes the top of the solid at angle of incidence 0, = 28.30. Find D, the horizontal displacement of the light ray (the horizontal
distance from the point at which the light enters the top block to the point at which the light leaves the block), in cm. Assume: as in the diagram, the ray does not reach
the end of the blocks.
