Calculate linear magnification from object and image distances or heights. Free magnification calculator for magnification, optics, and more.
Calculate refracted angle using Snell law of refraction. Free snells law calculator for snells and related calculations.
This tool applies a standard formula from the relevant domain. The computation is deterministic — given the same inputs, the result is always identical. The formula accounts for the primary variables that determine the output.
n₁sinθ₁ = n₂sinθ₂The calculation requires: Incident Medium n₁, Refracted Medium n₂, Incident Angle θ₁. Each parameter contributes to the final result according to the formula above. Accuracy depends on the precision of your input measurements.

Check the expected unit for each input field (shown as suffix). Converting between imperial and metric units before entering values prevents calculation errors.
When a formula combines multiple measurements, all inputs must use compatible units. Convert everything to the same system (metric or imperial) before calculating.
Calculate refracted angle at an optical interface using Snell's law. Free optics snells law tool for optics, snells, and more. It applies the calculation formula (n₁sinθ₁ = n₂sinθ₂).
