The sine of the angle of incidence is equal to the sine of the angle of refraction multiplied by
1.4797
 When light passed from air into a denser medium, the ray of refraction bent towards
the normal.  
 Since plastic is denser then air, the incident ray will bend away from the normal
when it travels through air.
