Finding refraction angles

If a beam of light strikes a diamond at an angle of 45 degrees
What is the angle of refraction?

Use Snell's law: $\frac{\theta_2}{\theta_1}=\frac{n_1}{n_2}$
where $\theta_1$ is angle of incidence, $\theta_2$ angle of refraction,
$\frac{n_1}{n_2}$ relative refraction index between air/vacuum (from which incident beam comes) and diamond.
