82. As represented in the figure below, a light ray refracts from air into a rectangular block of plastic with an index of refraction n > 1. At a point on the side of the block, the ray partly reflects (at an angle of 60°) and partly refracts. The value of the angle α is

 

 

 answer: D

the law of reflection θ = 30°
