Please answer Questions One and Two! Thank you!

Before beginning this assignment, you should review the topic of refraction, including snell's law, in your textbook. Q1: You are standing directly above a fish in an The actual depth the fish is one- the distance from the surface to the bottom. As you look down at where does the fish appear to be? it, Explain how you arrived at your answer. Q2: Is light bent more, less, or not at all when entering a medium with a larger index of refraction than that of the incident medium when the angle of incidence is greater than 0 Explain your reasoning.

Explanation / Answer

1.

the fish appears closer than the actual depth due to refraction of light , the light travels from denser medium to rarer medium hence bends away from the normal at air - glass interface. so the light appears to be coming from a point above the actual; depth of fish.

2.

when light travels from a rarer medium (less index of refraction) to denser medium (large index of refraction), the light bends towards the normal
