The angle of incidence, i, is the angle that the incident ray makes with the normal line. The angle of refraction, r, on the other hand, is the angle that the refracted ray makes with the normal line. The relationship between them is
a sine i = b sine r
where a and b are the constants known as the refractive indices of the respective media. They are more commonly represented as n(subscript 1) and n(subscript 2) but this interface won't let me do subscripts!
Angle of refraction will be less compared to the angle of incidence in this case.
same problem dude..
No, doubling the angle of incidence itself will not cause a doubling of the angle of refraction.
The angle of incidence
The COEFFICIENT of Refraction.
The angles of light are the result of the law of sines: sine( incidence angle)/speed of incidence = sine(refraction angle)/ speed of refraction
Angle of refraction will be less compared to the angle of incidence in this case.

No, doubling the angle of incidence itself will not cause a doubling of the angle of refraction.
when the angle of refraction is zero you still need an angle of incidence because it still reflects back.
The angle of incidence
The second angle of incidence is equal to the angle of refractions.
The COEFFICIENT of Refraction.
The angle if refraction also increases.

♦ According to the law of reflection, the angle of reflection of a reflected wave is equal to its angle of incidence. Compare refraction
Not exactly, the angle of refraction = the angle of incidence, which means the ratio of sine of angle of incidence to the sine of angle of refraction is constant for two media. That is sin i /sin r = constant , and this constant is called refractive index
