A tank holds a 1.44-m thick layer of oil that floats on a 0.96-m thick layer of brine. Both liquids are clear and do not intermix. Point O is at the bottom of the tank, on a vertical axis
The indices of refraction of the oil and the brine are 1.40 and 1.52, respectively. A ray originating at O crosses the brine-oil interface at a point 0.60 m from the axis. The ray continues and emerges into the air above the oil. What is the angle that the ray in the air makes with the vertical?
A) 48°
B) 51°
