MYSCHOOL the answer should be 48.6 not 19.47. As a quick way of checking, the angle of refraction should be greater than angle of incidence since the light is travelling from a denser medium to a less dense medium(it should bend further away from the normal)
MYSCHOOL please make corrections.

i think there is an error here... cos i got 19.5
what is it that we missed?
