The diagram below shows a point source P inside a water container. Four rays A, B, C, D starting from the source P are shown up to the water surface

1) Show in the diagram the path of these rays after striking the water surface.
The Critical Angle for the water-air surface is 48°.
2) Name the phenomenon which the rays B and D exhibit.
