Suppose you have a laser pointer which you use to illuminate the dust particle inside a water tank made of a 10 cm-thick glass wall whose index of refraction is 1.5. If the beam of light in air strikes the surface of the glass wall at an angle of 57.0° with respect to the normal. Determine the direction of the beam in the water.

You have just installed a new bathroom in your home. Your shower
doors have frosted glass to provide privacy for the person using
the shower. The frosted surface is on the outside of the shower
door, facing the rest of the bathroom. The frosting is done by acid
etching the surface so that light incident on the rough surface is
scattered in all directions. Proud of your new bathroom, you take a
photo of it with your smartphone. You notice...
