A beam of light is incident from air onto the surface of a liquid. When the angle of incidence is 45.0° the angle of refraction is found to be 36.0°. What is the index of refraction of the liquid?The situation is now reversed; that is, the beam of light is incident from the liquid onto the interface with the air. What is the critical angle for the light when it is incident on the liquid-air interface?

Is a  vector quantity  that refers to "the rate at which an object changes its position." imagine a person moving rapidly - one step forward and one step back - always returning to the original starting position. while this might result in a frenzy of activity, it would result in a zero velocity. because the person always returns to the original position, the motion would never result in a change in position. since velocity is defined as the rate at which the position changes, this motion results in zero velocity. if a person in motion wishes to maximize their velocity, then that person must make every effort to maximize the amount that they are displaced from their original position. every step must go into moving that person further from where he or she started. for certain, the person should never change directions and begin to return to the starting position.
