That depends what aspect of the glass of water you want to measure: its height, its volume, its mass, its index of refraction, etc.

Graduated measuring devices have a set of marking on them on the linear or angular scale to which an object feature can be compared to for measurement.

It's called the normal.
The imaginary line drawn perpendicular to the surface at the point of incidence is called the normal. It serves as a reference for measuring the angle of incidence and the angle of refraction in the study of optics, particularly when light travels through different mediums and changes direction.
normal.
The reference line is the normal (perpendicular) to the surface.
The index of refraction of a substance can be determined mathematically using Snell's Law, which relates the angle of incidence and refraction to the refractive indices of the two substances involved. By measuring the angles of incidence and refraction, the index of refraction can be calculated using the formula n = sin(i) / sin(r), where n is the refractive index, i is the angle of incidence, and r is the angle of refraction.
A reference line is a line that is perpendicular to the surface at the point of incidence. It is used as a point of reference for measuring the angles of incidence and reflection relative to the surface. The angle of incidence is measured between the incident ray and the reference line, while the angle of reflection is measured between the reflected ray and the reference line.
Difficulties in measuring the angle of refraction for large angles of incidence include inaccuracies due to significant refraction occurring close to the critical angle, which can lead to total internal reflection instead of refraction. Additionally, there may be challenges in distinguishing the refracted ray from the reflected ray, especially when using equipment with limited precision. Finally, for very large angles of incidence, the refraction angle may become difficult to measure accurately due to the rapid change in direction of the refracted ray.
Boy can find the refractive index of a liquid using a refractometer or by measuring the angle of refraction using a laser pointer. By measuring the critical angle of total internal reflection, he can calculate the refractive index of the liquid. Alternatively, he can use Snell's Law in conjunction with the angles of incidence and refraction to determine the refractive index.
Normal incidence refers to a situation where light rays or waves are incident on a surface at a 90-degree angle, perpendicular to the surface. In this scenario, the light rays propagate along the normal to the surface without any deviation or bending. This angle of incidence provides a reference point for measuring other angles of incidence in relation to the surface.
The presence of the wet filter paper will alter the light's path due to refraction, allowing for measurements to determine the glass's index of refraction. By measuring the angles of incidence and refraction and applying Snell's Law, the glass's refractive index can be calculated. The refractive index of the glass can be determined by comparing the angle of incidence and refraction with and without the wet filter paper.
