Question 1

A researcher investigates how light refracts as it passes from air into a synthetic diamond crystal block.

They record the angle of incidence, $θ1\theta_1$ , and the angle of refraction, $θ2\theta_2$ , for several different angles.

Diamond Refraction Data

Angle of incidence, $θ1\theta_1$ ( $∘^{\circ}$ )	Angle of refraction, $θ2\theta_2$ ( $∘^{\circ}$ )
0	0
15	6
30	12
45	17
60	21
75	23.5

Using the data, they plot the points on the grid in Figure 1.
