    This document discusses Snell's law for calculating the relationship between the angle of incidence and angle of refraction when light travels between two different optical media. It defines the angles and vectors involved, and notes that the cosine of the angle of incidence must be greater than or equal to zero since the angle is between 0 and 90 degrees.
