Quick question

Does sinθ1 or sinθ2 (the values in Snell's law in Refraction) have any units? Are the units degrees (o)?

Thanks!

θ can also be measured in radians, just have to be careful of the unit you're dealing with an see if it does affect the answer, such as in sinθ the unit is non existent.
