    This problem can be solved using Snell's law: " n1 * sin theta1 = n2 * sin theta2"

    Given:

    n1 = 1.36

    theta1 = 34 degrees

    n2 = 1.00

    theta2 = ?

    1.36 * sin (34) = 1 * sin (theta2)

    angle of refraction = 49.51 degrees

    Among the choices, the correct answer is C.
