Explanation / Answer

eta
a)2


angle of incidense is the angle between normal and incident ray

0o


b)


angle of incidence: 2; angle of reflection: 3


c)


n1*sinthet1 = n2*sintheta2


1*sin31.3 = 1.64*sintheta2


theta 2 = 18.5 degrees

tantheta2 = y/w


y = tantheta2 * w

y = 32*tan18.5


y = 10.71

ii)

costheta2 = w/AB


AB = W/costheta2

speed = v = c/n

time t = AB/v = 0.32*1.64/(cos18.5*3*10^8)


t = 1.845*10^-9 s
