  • 5(a)[1]

    ray travels along the normal OR angle of incidence = 0(°)

  • 5(b)(i)[2]

    n = 1 / sin c OR (n =) 1 / sin c OR (n =) 1 / sin 42 (°)

    1.5

  • 5(b)(ii)[3]

    ray reflected at BC AND no refracted ray

    ray hits AC with angle of incidence = 0 °

    correct refraction of candidate’s ray into air at AC

  • 5(c)[2]

    any two from:

    high rates (of data transmission) / fast (data transmission)
    carry large amounts (of data / information)
    secure
    little signal / data loss
    glass is transparent to (some) infrared
