Question

A laser beam is incident from the air at an angle of 30.00 to the vertical onto a solution of 
Karo syrup in water. If the beam is refracted to 19.24 to the vertical, what is the index of 
refraction of the syrup solution? Assume that you just have the Karo syrup and air.  Don't worry about water.  So, the light (in air) strikes the surface of the syrup at an angle of 30 degrees wrt the surface normal, and it refracts into the syrup at an angle of 19.24 degrees wrt a surface normal.
