A ray of light is directed toward the surface of a block of fused quartz at an angle of 27.0° with respect to the normal (a line perpendicular to the surface at the spot where the ray hits the block). Some of the light is reflected and the rest is refracted. What is the angle (in degrees) between the reflected and refracted rays?

A ray of light is directed toward the surface of a block of fused quartz at an angle of 29.0° with respect to the normal (a line perpendicular to the surface at the spot where the ray hits the block). A fraction of the light is reflected and the rest is refracted. What is the angle (in degrees) between the reflected and refracted rays?
A ray of 610 nm light goes from air into fused quartz at an incident angle of $55.0^{\circ} .$ At what incident angle must 470 $\mathrm{nm}$ light enter flint glass to have the same angle of refraction?
