Light that enters the new medium <em>perpendicular to the surface</em> keeps sailing straight through the new medium unrefracted (in the same direction).
Perpendicular to the surface is the "normal" to the surface. So the angle of incidence (angle between the laser and the normal) is zero, and the law of refraction (just like the law of reflection) predicts an angle of zero between the normal and the refracted (or the reflected) beam.
Moral of the story: If you want your laser to keep going in the same direction after it enters the water, or to bounce back in the same direction it came from when it hits the mirror, then shoot it <em>straight on</em> to the surface, perpendicular to it.
A force is a push or pull acting upon an object as a result of its interaction with another object. There are a variety of types of forces. a variety of force types were placed into two broad category headings on the basis of whether the force resulted from the contact or non-contact of the two interacting objects.
Contact Forces
Action-at-a-Distance Forces
Frictional Force
Gravitational Force
Tensional Force
Electrical Force
Normal Force
Magnetic Force
Air Resistance Force
Applied Force
Spring Force
These are types of individual forces
Applied Force
Gravitational Force
Normal Force
Frictional Force

Answer:
0.625m
Explanation:
Now Velocity of a wave ,V = frequency × wavelength
Wavelength =velocity /frequency
=500/800 =0.625m
