Homework Statement
An underwater scuba diver sees the Sun at an apparent angle of 44.5° above the horizontal. What is the actual elevation angle of the Sun above the horizontal? (Use 1.333 for the index of refraction of water.)
Homework Equations
n1sin(Θ1) = n2sin(Θ2)
The Attempt at a Solution
I've been doing:
1.333*sin(43) = .9091
sin-1(.9091)= 65.38
90-65.38 = 24.62 degrees
Where am I going wrong?? The answer is 12.9 degrees, but every time I try to do it, I get 24.62 degrees.
