A light ray in glass arrives at the glass-water interface at an angle of θ = 48° with the normal. The refracted ray in water makes an angle θ = 61° with the normal, as shown in the figure. The index of refraction of water is 1.33. The angle of incidence is now changed to θ = 25°. What is the new angle of refraction φ in the water?
