Vocaloid:

(A) would be refraction not reflection, reflection is when it bounces across the surface

C

Vocaloid:

good

C

Vocaloid:

hm if I understand correctly, n1 and sin1 are 35 degrees and 1.5 right so theta2 would be arcsin(1.5sin(35)/1) = ?

Vocaloid:

try this http://www.wolframalpha.com/input/?i=arcsin(1.5sin(35))

zarkam21:

B

Vocaloid:

when I plugged it into my calculator I end up with 59.36 degrees making A the better option

Okay I will go with what you say =)

Vocaloid:

the arcsin needs to be at the beginning

zarkam21:

ohhh okay that is my mistake

Vocaloid:

arcsin(1.5sin(35))

Choice D

Vocaloid:

|dw:1525407041131:dw|

zarkam21:

Vocaloid:

yeah (I'm just going off of what I found on the internet so I'm not 100% sure but that seems like the best option)

And this one im not sure, maybe D

Vocaloid:

the refracting object has curves on both sides so it is probably a convex mirror not a lens in this case, the image is real and larger judging by position and size making A the best option
