When light travels from a medium with higher refractive index to a medium with lower refractive index, there is a critical angle after which all the light is reflected (so, there is no refraction).
The value of this critical angle can be derived by Snell's law, and it is equal to

where n2 is the refractive index of the second medium and n1 is the refractive index of the first medium.
In our problem, n1=1.47 and n2=1.33, so the critical angle is
Answer:
a) Acceleration of the car is given as

b) Acceleration of the truck is given as

Explanation:
As we know that there is no external force in the direction of motion of truck and car
So here we can say that the momentum of the system before and after collision must be conserved
So here we will have

now we have


a) For acceleration of car we know that it is rate of change in velocity of car
so we have



b) For acceleration of truck we will find the rate of change in velocity of the truck
so we have
