Reflection and Refraction?

The index of refraction for silicate flint glass is 1.66 for light with a wavelength of 400 nm and 1.61 for light with a wavelength of 700 nm.

Find the angles of refraction for light of these wavelengths that is incident on this glass at an angle of 45 degree.

θ = sin^-1((1/1.66)sin(45°) = 25.2°
θ = sin^-1((1/1.61)sin(45°) = 26°
