Rarer Medium
The medium in which speed of light is faster, here air.
Denser Medium
The medium in which speed of light is slower, here water.
______________________________
Refractive Index = Sin i/Sin r
Refractive Index = 132
Sin r = Sin 45°
[Note : Sin 45° = 1/√2 or √2/2]
______________________________
➵ 132 = Sin i/Sin 45°
➵ 132 = Sin i/(√2/2)
➵ 132 = Sin i × 2/√2
➵ 132 × √2/2 = Sin i
➵ 66√2 = Sin i
Hence incident angle is 66√2 or 93° (approx).

Answer : 93° (approx)

Answer:
68.4 degree
Explanation:
we know that η=\frac{sini}{sinr} ----(1)
given r=45° η of water=1.32
put value of r and refractive index in equation 1 and you will get the answer.
hope it helps
