A beam of light (angle θ₀=16°) inside a transparent material (n=1.4) hits the surface.  Notice the change in subscripts of the angles.  For example, the refraction angle is θt, for "transmitted", whereas θr is the "reflected" angle.  Use the correct quantity, not necessarily the variable name. Calculate the transmitted (refracted) angle.
