Homework Statement

Homework Equations



n2θ2 = n1θ1

The Attempt at a Solution



To be honest I'm lost from the get go, I'm having trouble with visualizing what part a exactly wants. Part B, I think is just the picture as is. But I'm confused about all the angles in the picture and just where exactly each applies. Any help appreciated.
