2. You are trying to blind Ol One Eye with a laser and are aware that water is
a refractive medium. If you need to have the laser travel through the water
at an angle of 20 degrees from normal what angle must you shine the
laser into the water? [3]
Water has an index of refraction of 1.33.
Air has an index of refraction of 1.003.

If you feel there is something you studied that wasnt on the test and
you would like to demonstrate your knowledge to me put it here.
I will overwrite the mark on your worst short-answer if your
demonstration is adequate.
