Using Figure 9.34, find the angles of refraction for a light ray passing from air into glass

Question:

Using Figure 9.34, find the angles of refraction for a light ray passing from air into glass with the following angles of incidence: 5°, 10°, and 20°. Do you notice a trend in the resulting values? If so, describe it. Based on your observations, what would you predict the angle of refraction to be for an angle of incidence of 40°? How does your value compare with that inferred from Figure 9.34?
