What happens when the angle of refraction reaches 90°
We get the critical angle (0°)
What happens when we reach the critical angle
The light will reflect back into the glass

Explain how a ship works out the distance of the fish below
The ship has a transmitter that sends pulses of ultra sound which is reflected by the fish and picked up again by the ship’s receiver.
What is the “formula” the ship uses
Time from pulse to detection divided by 2 and x the speed of sound in water (2.3)
Speed of light in water
2.3x10*8
Speed of sound in water
1500m/s
