Answer

$\theta_1 = 48.76^{\circ}$

Work Step by Step

$\frac{c_1}{c_2} = \frac{sin~\theta_1}{sin~\theta_2}$ If $\theta_2 = 90^{\circ}$, then $sin~\theta_2 = 1$ We can find the value of $\theta_1$: $\frac{c_1}{c_2} = \frac{sin~\theta_1}{sin~\theta_2}$ $0.752 = \frac{sin~\theta_1}{1}$ $\theta_1 = arcsin(0.752)$ $\theta_1 = 48.76^{\circ}$
