Detailed Solution

The angle of incidence (i) and refraction (r) is equal in a transparent slab when the value of (i) is equal to 0°.
From Snell’s law, we know
sin i=μsin r
Where i is the angle of incidence
           r is the angle of refraction
           μ is the refractive index of the glass slab
When i=0o, then
sin 0o=μsin r
        r=0 (as sin 0o=0)
         i=r
