A ray of light travels through air until it strikes theinterface between the air and another medium. The incident raymakes an angle of 𝜃1 = 41.0°with thenormal, as shown in the figure below. Upon passage into the secondmedium, the ray is refracted, emerging from the interface at anangle 𝜃2with respect to the normal.
