Answer: ~~When the angle of incidence is greater than the critical angle.~~
Edit: I'm not. Apologies.
Yeah, when using hide boxes, what text appears automatically and what text is hidden must be separated by the "|" symbol (you have to have something be automatically visible, so if you put ".|(your answer)" in the hide syntax you would get:)
When the angle of incidence is greater than the critical angle.
But yeah, you're correct. Your turn.

When light moves from a vacuum to a certain piece of glass its velocity slows to 1.98 x 10^8 meters per second. What is the index of refraction of the piece of glass?

A source of light is located at a distance of 0.72m below the surface of water (n = 1.33). The light emerges at the surface into air (n=1.00) after undergoing refraction at the surface. Show that all the emerging light is all within a circle at the surface, and calculate the radius of the circle.
Also, sorry for taking so long to respond :/

Yup, that's correct. Sorry for such a late response!

Power (D) = 100/Focal Length (cm)
Sooo approx: 11.9 dioptres
