- A light ray travels from air (n=1.00) into a crown glass (n=1.52) with an angle of incidence of 49 degrees. The light ray continues to travel through the crown glass material into the diamond (n=2.42). At what angle does the light ray make with the normal line as it enters the diamond?arrow_forwardThe critical angle for total internal reflection at a liquid–air interface is 42.5. If a ray of light traveling in the liquid has an angle of incidence at the interface of 35.0, what angle does the refracted ray in the air make with the normal?arrow_forward
