Goldie the goldfish is in a 15.0-cm-radius spherical bowl of water that has an index of refraction of 1.33. Fluffy the cat is sitting on the table with her nose 10.0 cm from the surface of the bowl. The light from Fluffy’s nose is refracted by the air–water boundary to form an image. Find (a) the image distance and (b) the magnification of the image of Fluffy’s nose. Neglect any effect of the bowl’s thin glass wall. (M = 1.29)

An underwater laser light is at the bottom of a swimming pool, and is pointed towards the surface. A light ray from the laser makes an angle of incidence of ?i=350 at the surface of the water. [Note: ??????=1.33; ????=1.00] Calculate the angle of refraction of the laser light when it emerges into the air above the water. Determine the critical angle of incidence of the laser light to have Total Internal Reflection.
