Explanation:

Given that,

Refractive index of glass, n₁ = 1.65

Refractive index of liquid, n₂ = 1.22

(a) We need to find the angle of refraction for the angle of incidence of 60°. It can be calculated using Snells law as :

[tex]n_2\sin i=n_1\sin r[/tex]

r is the angle of refraction

[tex]\sin r=\dfrac{n_2\sin i}{n_1}[/tex]

[tex]\sin r=\dfrac{1.22\sin (60)}{1.65}[/tex]

[tex]r=39.81^{\circ}[/tex]

(b) [tex]n_2\sin i=n_1\sin r[/tex]

r is the angle of refraction

Here, i = 45 degrees

[tex]\sin r=\dfrac{n_2\sin i}{n_1}[/tex]

[tex]\sin r=\dfrac{1.22\sin (45)}{1.65}[/tex]

[tex]r=31.52^{\circ}[/tex]

(c)  [tex]n_2\sin i=n_1\sin r[/tex]

r is the angle of refraction

Here, i = 30 degrees

[tex]\sin r=\dfrac{n_2\sin i}{n_1}[/tex]

[tex]\sin r=\dfrac{1.22\sin (30)}{1.65}[/tex]

[tex]r=21.69^{\circ}[/tex]

Hence, this is the required solution.
