A beam of light (angle 0=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 et, for "transmitted", whereas e, is the "reflected" angle. Use the correct quantity, not necessarily the variable name. Calculate the transmitted (refracted) angle.
