Question 627956: How do you solve for θ2 in he equation
n1(sinθ1)=n2(sinθ2)
Thanks for the help! I've been stuck on this problem for a few hours now. i cannot figure out how to isolate the θ2.

You can put this solution on YOUR website!
n1(sinθ1)=n2(sinθ2)

n1(sinθ1)/n2=sinθ2

arcsin(n1(sinθ1)/n2) = θ2

θ2 = arcsin(n1(sinθ1)/n2)


Let me know if that helps. Thanks.
