What is the angle between the reflected and transmitted rays?

What is the angle between the reflected and transmitted rays?A beam of light is incident upon a flat piece of glass (n = 1.50) at an angle of incidence of 30°. Part of the beam is transmitted and part is reflected. What is the angle between the reflected and transmitted rays?

θ(reflection) = 30°

n(1)sin θ(1) = n(2)sin θ(2)
(1.00)sin 30° = (1.50)sin θ(2)
θ(2) = 19.5°

angle between rays = 180° - (30° + 19.5°) = 130.5°

both the same angle
