Snell's Law: A plastic cube is immersed in water having an index of refraction of 1.33. A laser beam in the plastic strikes the interface at an angle of 14.5° with the normal in the plastic. In the water, this beam makes an angle of 21.8° with the normal. What is the speed of light in the plastic cube? (c = 3.0 × 108 m/s)
