According to Snell'slawÂ Â Â Â Â Â Â Â refractiveindexÂ Â Â nÂ Â Â =Â Â Â sin?₁ / sin ?₂

Â Â Â foriceÂ Â Â nÂ Â Â =Â Â Â 1.309

Â Â Â =>Â Â Â sin 33⁰ /sin ?_{2,iceÂ Â Â}=Â Â Â 1.309

Â Â Â sin ?_{2,iceÂ Â Â}=Â Â Â 0.416

Â Â Â ?_{2,iceÂ Â Â}=Â Â Â sin^-1(0.416)

Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â = 24.59⁰

Â Â Â SimilarilyÂ Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â sin33⁰ / sin?_2,water=Â Â Â 1.333

Â Â Â sin?_{2,waterÂ Â Â}=Â Â 0.409

Â Â Â ?_{2,waterÂ Â Â}=Â Â Â sin^-1(0.409)

Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â = 24.12⁰

Â Â ?_{2,iceÂ Â Â}-Â Â Â ?_{2,waterÂ Â Â}= 24.59 - 24.12

Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â =Â Â Â 0.47⁰
