Problem

A thin, transparent oil film (no=1.40n_{\text{o}}=1.40) covers the surface of still water (nw=1.33n_{\text{w}}=1.33). A beam of sunlight in the air is incident on the oil film at 25∘25^{\circ} to the normal. a. Calculate the angle of the beam inside the oil film. b. Calculate the angle of the beam in the water after it passes through the oil–water interface.
