Arcsine

The function, denoted as , is the inverse of the sine function. While sine takes an angle and gives a ratio, arcsine takes a ratio and returns the original angle. 1. Define the Domain and Range

: Calculating the angle of refraction using Snell's Law. arcsine

The arcsine function is the mathematical tool used to , restricted to the interval from The function, denoted as , is the inverse

is a reflection of the restricted sine curve across the line Define the Domain and Range : Calculating the

, you are asking: "What arc length (angle) gives me this vertical height?"

Arcsine is used whenever an angle must be determined from known linear dimensions:
