A technician directs a light ray through a transparent medium, toward one surface of an equilateral prism. (The ray travels, and remains in, the plane of the page.) Incident on Surface 1 at an angle ?1, the ray then encounters Surface 2 from within the prism. If the angle of incidence at Surface 2 equals ?c , the critical angle for this prism, what is the original incidence angle, ?1 (in degrees)? The critical angle in this case is ?c = 41.5°. answer in degrees

A high fountain of water is in the center of a circular pool of water. You walk the circumference of the pool and measure it to be 25.0 meters. You then stand at the edge of the pool and use a protractor to gauge the angle of elevation of the top of the fountain. It is 35°. How high is the fountain?
A high fountain of water is in the center of a circular pool of water. You walk the circumference of the pool and measure it to be 150 meters. You then stand at the edge of the pool and use a protractor to gauge the angle of elevation of the top of the fountain. It is 55 degrees. How high is the fountain?
A park ranger wanted to measure the height of a small tree. The ranger stood 10.50 meters from the base of the tree. And he observed that his line of sight made an angle of 65.0 degrees above the horizontal as he looked at the top of the tree. The park rangers eyes are 1.80m above the ground. What is the height of the tree? If someone were to cut the tree in half what will be the angle the top of the tree will make with the line of sight of the park ranger?
