In order to determine the angle of the refracted ray, we may apply Snell's law, which states that the ratio of the sines of the angles of incidence and refraction is constant for a given wave when it passes through two different media. Mathematically, this is:
n₁sin(∅₁) = n₂sin(∅₂)
Where n is the refractive index. Substituting the values given into the equation:
1.0003 * sin(20°) = 1.33 * sin(∅)
∅ = 14.91

The angle of the refracted ray is 15°.
