[SOLVED] Another Index of Refraction Problem! HELP! PLEASE
When the rectangular metal tank in Figure 33-49 is filled to the top with an unknown liquid, observer O, with eyes level with the top of the tank, can just see the corner E. A ray that refracts toward O at the top surface of the liquid is shown. If D = 1.45 m and L = 1.13 m, what is the index of refraction of the liquid?
The Figure 33-49 is attached to this thread!
Sin(Theda)N1= Sin(Theda2)N2
I don't know if this equation will help or not?!
180 degrees, but that didnt work
