Chapter 13.1, Problem 7A
Assume that the length of line X-Y represents 100% of the solar radiation that is intercepted by Earth's Northern Hemisphere What percentage of the total incoming radiation is concentrated in each of the following zones? (Recall that you calculate the percentage by dividing the amount in question by the total amount and then multiplying that amount by 100%.)

A beam of white light goes from air into water at an incident angle of 75.0°.
At what angles are the red (660 nm) and violet (410 nm) parts of the light
refracted? Are the angles going to be different if the light strikes a crown
