Imagine a ray of light passing between air (n~1) and glass (n~1.5). If the ray of light hits the glass from the air at an angle of 60 degrees, what will the new angle of the light be relative to that air-glass interface as it travels through the glass? (Hint: Remember that you need to focus on the angle of the light relative to a line perpendicular to the air-glass interface when using Snell's Law)
