SUMMARY
The discussion centers on the correct mathematical approach to determining the trajectory of light passing through glass. The initial confusion regarding the use of the sine function was clarified, confirming that the cosine function is the appropriate choice for calculating angles of refraction. Participants emphasized the importance of visual aids, such as diagrams, to illustrate the trajectory and angles involved in this optical phenomenon.
