Problem

Light passes from water (index of refraction 1.33) into an acrylic block whose index of refraction is measured to be 1.49 ± 0.02. If the angle of incidence in the water is 40° measured from the normal, determine the minimum and maximum possible values of the refracted angle inside the acrylic, to the nearest 0.1°.
