A light beam shines through air and then strikes a mirror, making an angle theta = 39.0 degrees with respect to the vertical, as shown. The reflected beam then strikes a pane of glass of thickness h = 1.68 cm, located a distance y= 48.5 cm from the mirror, and then exits the glass pane at the bottom, a horizontal distance x cm away from where it struck the mirror. What is the value of x?
A ray of light travels from air into a liquid at an angle of incidence of 300. If it is deviated by 100, what is the speed of light in the liquid?
