An oil layer that is 5.0 cm thick is spread smoothly and evenly over the surface of water on a windless day. what is the angle of refraction in the water for a ray of light that has an angle of incidence of 45° as it enters the oil from the air above? (the index of refraction for the oil is 1.15, and for water it is 1.33.)
