Question: ask expert Shown from above in ( Figure 1 ) is one corner of a rectangular box filled with water. A laser beam starts 1

ask expert Shown from above in (Figure 1) is one corner of a rectangular box filled with water. A laser beam starts 10 cm from side A of the container and enters the water at position \( x \). You can ignore the thin walls of the container.
Figure
Part A
If \( x=15\mathrm{~cm}\), does the laser beam refract back into the air through side B or reflect from side B back into the water?
