A ray of light travelling within a rectangular glass block falls on one of the faces of the block at an angle of incidence 30°. Some of the light is reflected internally and the rest emerges into air. Given that the r . i. of glass for the light is 1.5, calculate the angle between the internally reflected ray and the emergent ray.  Sin 48° 40'=0.75
