What is the relation between angle of incidence i and angle of refraction r in the glass ?

Solution

From snell's law
Snell's law (also known as the snell-descartes law and the law of refraction) is a formula used to describe the relationship between the angle of incidence and refraction, when referring to light or other waves passing through a boundary between two different isotropic media, such as water, glass, or air.
$refractiveindex=sinisinrμ=sinisinr$
