    This can be solve using snell's law. snell's law equation is:

    N1 / N2 = sin a2 / sin a1

    where N1 is the index of refraction of the air which is equal to 1

    N2 is the index of refraction of the medium

    a2 is the angle of refraction

    a1 is the incident angle

    subsitute the given values

    1 / N2 = 0.173 / 0.217

    N2 = 1 (0.217 / 0.173)

    N2 = 1.25 is the index of refraction
