The formula to calculate the Coefficient of Refraction is:
\[ \mu = \csc(i) \]
Where:
The Coefficient of Refraction is the ratio of the speed of light in a vacuum to its speed in a specific medium, describing how much a light beam is refracted when passing through it.
Let's assume the following value:
Using the formula:
\[ \mu = \csc(0.698131700797601) \]
Evaluating:
\[ \mu = 1.55572382686065 \]
The Coefficient of Refraction is 1.55572382686065.
