Note 9:   Figure 23.14 in the textbook is WRONG

To see the error more clearly draw a radius-line from the center of the circle (on right) to one of the points where a ray is refracted. It would take a very unusual material with a negative index of refraction to produce the refraction that is shown in this figure!

Note 8:   FINAL
