How to find the refractive index when knowing the angle of incidence and the angle of refraction?
1 Answer

...
use Snell's Law
ni sin(i) = nr sin(r)
so when you know
i = angle of incidence
r= angle of refraction
ni - index of refraction for incident medium
if this is air, which it commonly is, then ni = 1
so
just solve for nr
which is the refractive index of the refracting medium
