A unit vector along incident ray of lights is i^. The unit vector for the corresponding refracted ray of lights is r^n^ is a unit vector normal to the boundary of the medium and directed towards the incident medium. If m be the refractive index of the medium, then Snell's law (2nd) of refraction is 

1. i^×n^=μn^+r

2. i^.n^=μn^.r^

3. i^×n^=μr^×n^

4. μi^×n^=r^×n^

A diver in a swimming pool wants to signal his distress to a person lying on the edge of the pool by flashing his waterproof flash light:

(1) he must direct the beam vertically upwards.

(2) he has to direct the beam horizontally.

(3) he has to direct the beam at an angle to the vertical which is slightly less than the critical angle of incidence for total internal reflection.

(4) he has to direct the beam at an angle to the vertical which is slightly more than the critical angle of incidence for internal reflection.
