Problem

A light ray in air strikes a plane glass slab (n=1.5n=1.5) at an angle of 40∘40^{\circ} to the normal. After refraction through the slab, it emerges into water (n=1.33n=1.33) through the parallel back surface. What is the angle the emergent ray makes with the normal in water? (a) 47∘47^{\circ} (b) 29∘29^{\circ} (c) 40∘40^{\circ} (d) 25∘25^{\circ}
