A slab of material 1 rests on the surface of a slab of material 2 . A light ray in material 1 has an angle of incidence of 30 on the interface between the materials, while the ray in material 2 has an angle of refraction of 45. What is the critical angle of incidence for total internal reflection for a ray of light going from material 2 to material 1?
 a. 30
  b. 45
  c. In this case there is no critical angle.
  d. At least one of the indices of refraction or its equivalent is needed to solve this problem.

People who have myopia, or nearsightedness, are not able to see objects at a distance but only up close. It occurs when the cornea is either curved too steeply, the eye is too long, or both. This condition is progressive and worsens with time. More than 100 million people in the United States are nearsighted, but only 20% of those are born with the condition. Diet, eye exercise, drug therapy, and corrective lenses can all help manage nearsightedness.

Your skin wrinkles if you stay in the bathtub a long time because the outermost layer of skin (which consists of dead keratin) swells when it absorbs water. It is tightly attached to the skin below it, so it compensates for the increased area by wrinkling. This happens to the hands and feet because they have the thickest layer of dead keratin cells.
