These two angles share an almost linear relationship with one another. This can be seen from the fact that as the angle of incidence increases the angle of reflection also does the same at almost the same rate. As the angle of incidence increases by ten degrees the angle of reflection also increases by ten degrees however there is a three degree of difference. When angle of incident is 10 degrees the angle of reflection is at 13 degrees. The law of reflection states that the is equal to the . What could be predicted from this is that if we are looking at the and for every ten degrees starting at 0 then the slope would be 1 and the y-intercept will be 0. This is because using the equation it tells us that for every ten degrees in the will also be increasing by ten. The slope will be zero because at zero degrees for the will be zero as well. There is no clear linear relationship between the angle of refraction and the angle of incident. All that can be seen from the graph is that as angle of incidence increases the angle of refraction does the same. However there is no clear pattern. You can convert your angles using the above conversion right inside the argument of the function SINE.
