Final answer:
In cases where the angle of incidence was greater than 0° and light traveled from a medium with a higher to a lower index of refraction, the angle of refraction was greater than the angle of incidence.
Step-by-step explanation:
When light passes from one medium to another, the angle of refraction is determined by the indices of refraction of the two media. According to Snell's Law, when light travels from a medium with a higher index of refraction to a medium with a lower index of refraction (n₁ > n₂), the angle of refraction is greater than the angle of incidence (0₂ > 0₁). As the angle of incidence increases, the angle of refraction also increases up to a maximum of 90 degrees. Beyond the critical angle, all the light is reflected back into the first medium, a phenomenon known as total internal reflection.
