If so, describe it. O Doubling the angle of incidence approximately halves the angle of refraction. O Doubling the angle of incidence approximately doubles the angle of refraction. O Doubling the angle of incidence approximately quadruples the angle of refraction. There is no trend in the resulting values. Based on your observations, what would you predict the angle of refraction to be for an angle of incidence of 40°? How does your value compare with that inferred from the figure?
