Let the XY-plane be the boundary between two transparent media. Medium 1 in Z0 has a refractive index of 2 and medium 2 with Z<0 has a refractive index of 3. A ray of light in medium 1 given by the vector A=63i^+83j^-10k^ is incident on the plane of separation. The angle of refraction in medium 2 is
