A beam of light is directed toward the surface of a block of fused quartz at an angle of 28.0° with respect to the normal (a line perpendicular to the surface at the spot where the ray hits the block). A fraction of the light is reflected and the rest refracted. What is the angle (in degrees) between the reflected and refracted beams?
