Answer:
θ = 10.28º
Explanation:
To find the angle of refraction use the equation of refraction
n₁ sin θ₁ = n₂ sin θ₂
where index 1 is for incident light and index 2 is for refracted light.
sin θ₂ = n₁ / n₂ sin θ
let’s calculate
sin = 1 / 1.3 sin 0.23
sin = 0.175
θ= 0.17528 rad
let’s reduce to degrees
θ = 0.17528 rad (180ª / pi rad)
θ = 10.28º
