   analytic solution?

   Hi all,   
      
   I'd like to know if there exists an anlytic solution for this problem.   
   A beam starts at height = 0 with angle alpha, and passes through air of   
   thickness A and then through a glass window of thickness D. When exiting the   
   window, the beam's height is C.   
   A, D, C and the index of refraction are known. Is there an analytic solution   
   for angle alpha? I think it doesn't exist, but maybe I'm overlooking something.
