Problem

A light ray travels in water (n=1.33n=1.33), strikes a glass layer (n=1.50n=1.50) at an angle of incidence 50∘50^{\circ} and then attempts to emerge into air on the far side. What happens at the glass–air boundary? a) It emerges making an angle 65∘65^{\circ} with the normal. b) It suffers total internal reflection inside the glass and does not emerge. c) It emerges making an angle 27∘27^{\circ} with the normal. d) It emerges with the same 50∘50^{\circ} angle as in water.
