Derivation

  1. Initial program 2.6

    \[\sin^{-1} \left(\frac{h}{\sqrt{eta \cdot eta - \frac{sinTheta_O \cdot sinTheta_O}{\sqrt{1 - sinTheta_O \cdot sinTheta_O}}}}\right) \]

  2. Taylor expanded in sinTheta_O around 0 0.9

    \[\leadsto \sin^{-1} \left(\frac{h}{\color{blue}{eta - 0.5 \cdot \frac{{sinTheta_O}^{2}}{eta}}}\right) \]

  3. Applied egg-rr0.7

    \[\leadsto \sin^{-1} \left(\frac{h}{eta - 0.5 \cdot \color{blue}{{\left(\frac{sinTheta_O}{\sqrt{eta}}\right)}^{2}}}\right) \]

  4. Final simplification0.7

    \[\leadsto \sin^{-1} \left(\frac{h}{eta - 0.5 \cdot {\left(\frac{sinTheta_O}{\sqrt{eta}}\right)}^{2}}\right) \]
