Science Buddies: "Ask an Expert"

Hello,
I am about to attend the state science olympiad competition and I need help with this problem.
A wave is traveling through water at an angle of 30 degrees to the
normal. It then encounters air at a boundary. Draw the wave and label the
normal, the incident ray, and the refracted ray.

Hi cert1236,

This forum is intended for students, parents, and teachers working on K-12 science projects. If you are looking for help with homework or general science discussions there are other sites that should be able to answer you question. Also, you might want to do some reading on “refractive index” and “Snell’s Law” for help with your question.
