<h2>Explanation:</h2><h3>3. </h3>

When light bounces back, it is <em>reflected</em>. (That's why you see your <em>reflection</em> in a mirror.) When light is bent from the path it is taking, it is <em>refracted</em>. The only answer choice that makes correct use of these terms is the third choice:

Part of the ray is <em>refracted</em> into ray B; part of the ray is <em>reflected</em> as ray R.

_____

The index of refraction is the ratio of the sine of the angle of incidence to the sine of the angle of refraction. Both angles are measured from the normal to the surface. The angle of refraction here is 12.5° less than the angle of incidence, 44°, so is 31.5°. Then the index of refraction of the medium is ...

n = sin(44°)/sin(31.5°) = 0.69466/0.52250 = 1.3299 ≈ 1.33

none of the offered choices is correct. The closest is 1.34.

Out of that list, the concave mirror is the only item that can concentrate sunlight and heat into a small area. But if you could get ahold of a convex lens, that would be even better.
