Angle of refraction (${\theta }_t$)

The angle of refraction is the angle between the transmitted light ray and the surface normal vector, measured on the transmitted side. With positive refractive indices, a propagating transmitted light ray satisfies $n_i\sin {\theta }_i=n_t\sin {\theta }_t$ in Snell's law. The incident and transmitted angles are measured from the same normal line, not from the surface and not from the emergent light ray at a second surface.
