Refraction of Light

\frac{\sin i}{\sin r} = \text{constant}

\mu = \frac{\text{Speed of light in first medium}}{\text{Speed of light in second medium}}

\mu = \frac{\sin i}{\sin r} = \frac{3 \times 10^{8}}{2.25 \times 10^{8}} = \frac{4}{3} = 1.33

\mu = \frac{\sin i}{\sin r} = \frac{3 \times 10^{8}}{2 \times 10^{8}} = 1.5
