Snell's law states: n1 sin(theta1) =

Answer: n2 sin(theta2).

  • A n2 sin(theta2)
  • B n2 cos(theta2)
  • C n1 sin(theta2)
  • D n2 tan(theta2)

Correct answer: A. n2 sin(theta2)

Explanation: Snell's law: n1 sin(theta1) = n2 sin(theta2). Relates angles of incidence and refraction at a boundary.
