The figure below shows a spherical bubble of CO2 gas in a liquid. The index of refraction of the
liquid is 1.5 times larger than that of the gas. A light ray in the liquid is incident on the bubble as
shown. The black dot identifies the center of the bubble.
Draw, precisely, a reasonable ray transmitted into the bubble and explain how you
