You can tell I've been working through the Kaplan problems again as it gets down to the wire. Attached is Afternoon problem 14 along with the solution.

In the solution it mentions that P/(sin delta) is constant (if P goes up, sin delta goes up).

Then it goes on to say (sin delta 2)=(P1/P2)*(sin delta 1). This looks like P*sin delta is constant (if P goes up, sin delta goes down).

Is it me or should it be (sin delta 2)=(P2/P1)* (sin delta 1)?
