A. 30°
B. 45°
C. 60°
D. 75°

Solution

Using Snell's law: n1 * sin(θ1) = n2 * sin(θ2), 1 * sin(60°) = 1.33 * sin(θ2) => sin(θ2) = (sin(60°)/1.33) ≈ 0.577, θ2 ≈ 35.0°.

Solution

Since the angle of incidence (70°) is greater than the critical angle (approximately 41.8°), total internal reflection occurs.

Correct Answer: A — Total internal reflection occurs
