Answer

42\degree

You're on a roll — a) A: Refraction B: Reflection

b) I: Incident ray II: Refracted ray III: Normal IV: Reflected ray V: Mirror (or Reflecting surface)

c) To measure the angles, we use a protractor on the diagram. Based on visual estimation: $i$ : $\boxed{42\degree}$ $r$ : $\boxed{28\degree}$ $a$ : $\boxed{30\degree}$ $b$ : $\boxed{30\degree}$
