A beam of light (angle O0=17°) inside a transparent material (n=1.3) hits the surface. Notice the change in subscripts of the angles. For example, the refraction angle is O, for "transmitted", whereas e, is the "reflected" angle. Use the correct quantity, not necessarily the variable name. Calculate the transmitted (refracted) angle.
