Solution:
(a) From the figure, we have

𝜃 = 𝛼 ™ + 𝛽′

(b) From Snell’s law,
sin 𝛼 = 𝑛 sin 𝛼 ™ ⇒ 𝛼 = sinB* (𝑛 sin 𝛼′)
sin 𝛽 = 𝑛 sin 𝛽 ™ ⇒ 𝛽 = sinB* 𝑛 sin(𝜃 − 𝛼′)
The deflection angle is
𝛿 = sinB* (𝑛 sin 𝛼′) + sinB* 𝑛 sin(𝜃 − 𝛼′) − 𝜃 [4]

frame?
(b) How long will it take for the signal to reach the ship as measured in the ship’s reference
