begin mathsize 12px style Hi space Vikas comma
According space to space Snell apostrophe straight s space law comma
sini over sinr equals straight n subscript straight r over straight n subscript straight i
therefore sinr equals fraction numerator straight n subscript straight i sini over denominator straight n subscript straight r end fraction equals fraction numerator begin display style 3 over 2 end style cross times sin 30 over denominator begin display style 4 over 3 end style end fraction equals 3 over 4 cross times 3 over 4 equals 9 over 16
therefore straight r equals sin to the power of negative 1 end exponent open parentheses 9 over 16 close parentheses equals 34.2 degree

left parenthesis 2 right parenthesis space When space ray space passes space from space medium space 2 space to space 1
sini over sinr equals straight n subscript straight r over straight n subscript straight i
therefore sinr equals fraction numerator straight n subscript straight i sini over denominator straight n subscript straight r end fraction equals fraction numerator begin display style 4 over 3 cross times sin 30 end style over denominator begin display style 3 over 2 end style end fraction equals 4 over 6 cross times 2 over 3 equals 4 over 9
therefore straight r equals sin to the power of negative 1 end exponent open parentheses 4 over 9 close parentheses equals 26.4 degree end style
