A ray of light is incident on the surface of a block of clear ice at an angle of 40.00 with the normal. Part of the light is reflected, and part is refracted. The Index of Refraction of air and ice is 1.00, and 1.33, respectively. Find: The angle of the reflected beam ( that it makes with the normal) The angle of the refracted beam ( that it makes with the normal) The angle between the reflected and refracted light
