A ray of light is incident on a transparent slab of glass having refractive $$index3$$ . A part of incident energy is reflected and the balance amount of energy is refracted into the slab. If the angle between refracted and reflected rays is $$90o$$, what is the angle of deviation of the reflected ray?

Question

A ray of light is incident on a transparent slab of glass having refractive $$index3$$ . A part of incident energy is reflected and the balance amount of energy is refracted into the slab. If the angle between refracted and reflected rays is $$90o$$, what is the angle of deviation of the reflected ray?
