Help with refraction problem?
Through air light travels and hits a surface with a rating of N=1.3 at a certain angle. from there it hits another surface with a rating of N=1.5. What is the final angle?

Far too much missing information. Mainly, what is the angle of the second surface relative to the first one?
If the two surfaces are parallel then the refraction produced by the first surface can be ignored and the final angle is found by using
sin i = 1.5 sin r
where i = original angle of incidence
r = final angle ( angle of refraction )
and we are taking Nair = 1
best I can do.
