A light ray traveling from diamond into air has an angle of refraction of 56 degrees. A piece of glass is then placed right next to the diamond a) how will the angle of refraction change? b) Justify your answer by considering any changes to the speed of light. PLEASE HELP ME I DON'T UNDERSTAND. Also, could you give me a very detailed explanation, so i could understand, and explain me how you got your answer thank you. :)
