The angle of reflection is 60 degrees. (Note that the angle of incidence is not 30 degrees; it is 60 degrees since the angle of incidence is measured between the incident ray and the normal.)

Answer:
The angle of refraction is 19.27°.
Explanation:
This can be determined using Snell's law which states:
Refractive index = sin i/sin r ( where i is the angle of incidence and r is the angle of refraction).
[ Since the medium has not been mentioned here, we consider it to be glass( default medium)]
Refractive index of glass= 1.5
So, 1.5 = sin 30/sin r
So, sin r = 0.33
So r = sin-1( 0.33) = 19.27°.
