The diagram shows a beam of light travelling through glass and meeting a glass-air interface.

Which row correctly describes angle of incidence at the interface and observation at the glass-air interface?

• 30° - some internal reflection

• angle of reflection: 1, angle of refraction: 4

• angle of reflection: 2, angle of refraction: 3

• angle of reflection: 2, angle of refraction: 4
