The incident ray makes a 58.0o angle with the normal in the air before it enters the glass and a 36.4o angle with the normal after it enters the gelatin. In a neat and organized fashion, write out a solution which includes the following: A sketch of the physical situation with all given physical quantities clearly labeled. Draw a ray diagram showing all reflected and refracted rays in this situation and all angles clearly labeled.
