+    Calculates the refraction angle of light passing from one medium to another.
+    The law states that, for a given pair of media, the ratio of the sines
+    of angle of incidence and angle of refraction s equal to the refractive
+    index of the second medium with regard to the first which is equal to the
+    ratio of the refractive indices of the two media, or equivalently, to the
+    ratio of the phase velocities in the two media.

+    Formula: n1 * sin(theta1) = n2 * sin(theta2)
+    or     : (sin(theta1) / sin(theta2)) = (n2 / n1)
+    Where:
+        n1 = refractive index of the first medium
+        n2 = refractive index of the second medium
+        theta1 = angle of incidence
+        theta2 = angle of refraction
+
+    Note: Total Internal Reflection (TIR) occurs when light travels from a
+    denser medium to a rarer medium and the incident angle exceeds the
+    critical angle, making refraction impossible.
