A beam of light is incident from air onto the flat surface of a piece of sapphire. Part of the beam is reflected and part is refracted. If the angle of refraction inside the sapphire is 33.5°, what is the angle of reflection for the rest of the beam? All angles are measured from the normal to the surface.
