Problem

A beam of light enters a tank of liquid at an incident angle of 25.0∘25.0^{\circ} measured from the normal. The beam travels 1.00 m1.00\,\text{m} through the liquid in 4.40 ns4.40\,\text{ns} before emerging into air. Assuming c=3.00×108 m/sc = 3.00\times10^{8}\,\text{m/s} and nair=1.00n_{\text{air}} = 1.00, calculate the angle that the refracted beam makes with the normal in air.
