(a) Laws of refraction : 

(i) Snell’s law : The ratio between the values of the sine of angle of incidence and the sine of angle of refraction for two given optical media is a constant quantity. µ = sin i / sin r 

(ii) The incident ray, the refracted ray and the normal lie on the same plane at the point of incidence. 

(b) Refractive index of water is 1.33 means that speed of light in air is 1.33 times faster than in water.
