Parallel light rays in water incident on a submerged spherical air bubble.
Parallel light rays in water incident on a submerged spherical air bubble.
A spherical air bubble with index of refraction \(n_{\text{air}} = 1.00\) is submerged in water with index of refraction \(n_{\text{water}} = 1.33\). A beam of parallel light rays traveling horizontally through the water approaches the air bubble, as shown in the diagram. Which of the following claims correctly describes the behavior of the light rays after passing through the bubble and provides the correct physical justification?
