  1. Physics When a ray of light passes from one medium into a second, the angle of incidence theta sub 1 and the angle of refraction theta sub 2 are related by Snell's law: n sub 1 sine , theta sub 1 , equals , n sub 2 sine , theta sub 2 , comma where n sub 1 is the index of refraction of the first medium and n sub 2 is the index of refraction of the second medium. How are theta sub 1 and theta sub 2 related if n sub 2 , greater than , n sub 1 , question mark If n sub 2 , less than , n sub 1 , question mark If n sub 2 , equals , n sub 1 , question mark
