Hi,
My Question:
A beam of light is emitted in a pool from a depth of 62.0 cm. Where must it strike the air-water interface, relative to the spot directy abovie, in order that the light does not exit the water?

I need to find a Fermat Equation for a parabola that sends light from a point sour ce on X the access back parrallell to the x access.
Thanks
If you want to see what I tried, I posted a pic a few days ago, under the title optics, but no one responded at that point.
Hey Everyone..
I'm having trouble with this question, I think I have this question figured out but my answer is coming out incorrect... Tell me if there is a flaw in my logic.. question is:

If anyone who's good at optics/physics can help me with this electromagnetic part of optics...it'll be great.
so here's the problem:
imagine an electromagnetic wave with it's E-field in the y-direction. Show that (dE/dx)=-(dB/dt) applied to the harmonic wave B
E=Eo cos(kx - wt)...
