A ray of light impinges from air onto a block of ice (n = 1.309) at a 33.0
According to Snell'slaw refractiveindex n = sin?1 / sin ?2
forice n = 1.309
=> sin 330 /sin ?2,ice = 1.309
sin ?2,ice = 0.416
?2,ice = sin-1(0.416)
= 24.590
Similarily sin330 / sin?2,water= 1.333
sin?2,water = 0.409
?2,water = sin-1(0.409)
= 24.120
?2,ice - ?2,water = 24.59 - 24.12
= 0.470
