The refractive index of cooking oil is 1.47, and the refractive index of water is 1.33. a thick layer of cooking oil is floating on top of water in a beaker. what is the critical angle for light passing from the oil into the water? 49 43 25 65

When light travels from a medium with higher refractive index to a medium with lower refractive index, there is a critical angle after which all the light is reflected (so, there is no refraction).

The value of this critical angle can be derived by Snell's law, and it is equal to

where n2 is the refractive index of the second medium and n1 is the refractive index of the first medium.

In our problem, n1=1.47 and n2=1.33, so the critical angle is

3x + 2x = both people using the same measure of like 5x = x= 25 meters per second. 25ms. it takes them 4 seconds to
