Problem

Light travels through a system of two immiscible liquids, A and B, in a container. The speed of light in liquid A is 2.0×108 m/s2.0 \times 10^{8}\,\text{m/s}, and in liquid B is 2.4×108 m/s2.4 \times 10^{8}\,\text{m/s}. If a ray of light is incident from liquid A onto the interface with liquid B at an angle of 30∘30^{\circ}, calculate the angle of refraction in liquid B. (Use c=3×108 m/sc = 3 \times 10^{8}\,\text{m/s} if needed, though direct ratio is preferred).
