Answer:

The angle of refraction θ₂ = 40.51 degree

Step-by-step explanation:

given data

ray incident = 60 degree

refractive index of water = 4/3​ = 1.333

solution

we will use here Snell's law that states as

n₁ sin θ₁ = n₂ sin θ₂ .....................1

here we take refraction of air n₁ = 1

so put value in equation 1 we get

1 × sin60 = 1.333 × sinθ₂

sinθ₂ = 0.6496

θ₂ = 40.51 degree
