Angle of Inclination: ?
An underwater scuba diver sees the Sun at an apparent angle of 23 degrees from the vertical. The refraction index for water is 1.32. what is the Sun's angle of inclination?
n1sin(degree)= n2sin(degree)
1.32sin(23) = 1sin(degree)
sin-1 (.51576) = 31.04
This was the wrong answer. I thought this was straightforward. I must be missing something here.
