Refraction of light is the phenomenon of bending of light when it moves from one medium to the other.
This bending takes place due to the change in refractive index.
Refraction of light follows the Snell’s law. If we use the Snell’s law in this question, we cannot have the angle of incidence as 0°.
We cannot have the angle of incidence as 90° as it is the critical angle.
Thus refraction will occur only at an angle of 45°.
