A beam of light in air is incident at an angle of 35 degrees to the surface of a rectangular block of clear plastic n 1.49 What is the angle of refraction?

It depends on the refractive index of the plastic. There are many different kinds of plastic and they do not have the same refractive index.

What is internal refraction?
internal refraction is when the ray of light is refracted, for example in a glass or plastic semicircle, and it's refracted inside the semicircle, notoutside.

What is the first law of optics?
Snell's law is the first law of optics, and also known as the law of refraction. It is a formula used to describe the relation between an angle of incidence and refraction, when referring to light.
How do CD's save information on the disc?
Small cuts in the plastic cause refraction of a lazer beam to send a code that gives the information
Would a incident ray bend when it enters a curved plastic container?
Assuming the incident ray enters the container at an angle, yes, but it would also bend if the container was straight. The phenomenon you're asking about is called refraction. The equation describing it is called Snell's Law: sin(θ1)/sin(θ2)=n2/n1 where θ1 and θ2 are the incident and refracted angles of the light ray and n1 and n2 are the first and second medium's "refractive index," which is a number that can be looked up. If the incident ray is perpendicular to the container's surface, θ1 is 0 and there is no bend. The only significance of the container itself being curved is that when the light ray exits the plastic, it may not bend back to the direction it started out with.
What is the temperature of the plastic mantle?
The temperature of the plastic mantle, or asthenosphere, is inferred to be about 1600 degrees Celsius.
What will plastic do at o degrees kelvin?
It, like every thing else at 0 degrees kelvin, will freeze
