Answer:

0.139 rad

Explanation:

We use Snell's law n_1sin\theta_1=n_2sin\theta_2, where if n_1 is the <em>refractive index</em> of the medium containing the <em>incident ray</em>, \theta_1 would be the <em>incident angle</em>, and if n_2 is the <em>refractive index</em> of the medium containing the <em>refracted ray</em>, \theta_2 would be the <em>refraction angle</em>, which we want, so we do:

sin\theta_2=\frac{n_1}{n_2}sin\theta_1

And finally:

\theta_2=arcsin(\frac{n_1}{n_2}sin\theta_1)

We then insert our values:

\theta_2=arcsin(\frac{n_1}{n_2}sin\theta_1)=Arcsin(\frac{1}{3.325}sin(0.478rad))=arcsin(0.13834714686&#10;)=0.139 rad
