2. This is a mostly-qualitative question about the meaning of the critical angle A. for water in contact with air. The questions below involve a beam of light traveling within the water toward the air-water interface. The incident beam is shown on a ray diagram in each part. (a) In this part, the beam of light within the water makes an angle of incidence (within the water) of 30.0°, which is less than the critical angle for water in contact...
