Problem
A light ray in air (n=1.00) strikes the surface of three transparent solids—gallium phosphide (n=3.30), flint glass (n=1.66), and acrylic (n=1.49)—all at the same incident angle of 35∘ measured from the normal. Without performing explicit calculations, rank the refracted rays inside the solids in order of increasing angle with the normal and briefly justify your ranking.
