(A) The boundary is the $x-z$ plane,so the normal to the surface is along the $y$-axis (unit vector $\widehat{j}$). The incident ray vector is $\overrightarrow{A} = 6\sqrt{3} \widehat{i} + 8\sqrt{3} \widehat{j} - 10\widehat{k}$. The angle of incidence $i$ is the angle between the incident ray and the normal. Since the ray is traveling from $z > 0$ to $z $\cos i = \frac{|\overrightarrow{A} \cdot \widehat{n}|}{|\overrightarrow{A}| |\widehat{n}|} = \frac{|(6\sqrt{3} \widehat{i} + 8\sqrt{3} \widehat{j} - 10\widehat{k}) \cdot (-\widehat{j})|}{\sqrt{(6\sqrt{3})^2 + (8\sqrt{3})^2 + (-10)^2} \cdot 1} = \frac{8\sqrt{3}}{\sqrt{108 + 192 + 100}} = \frac{8\sqrt{3}}{\sqrt{400}} = \frac{8\sqrt{3}}{20} = \frac{2\sqrt{3}}{5}$. Wait,let's re-evaluate the normal. The boundary is the $x-z$ plane,so the normal is the $y$-axis. The incident ray is $\overrightarrow{A} = 6\sqrt{3} \widehat{i} + 8\sqrt{3} \widehat{j} - 10\widehat{k}$. The angle $	heta$ with the $y$-axis is given by $\cos 	heta = \frac{A_y}{|A|} = \frac{8\sqrt{3}}{20} = \frac{2\sqrt{3}}{5}$. Using Snell's Law: $\mu_1 \sin i = \mu_2 \sin r$. $\sin^2 i = 1 - \cos^2 i = 1 - \frac{12}{25} = \frac{13}{25} \implies \sin i = \frac{\sqrt{13}}{5}$. $\sqrt{2} \cdot \frac{\sqrt{13}}{5} = \sqrt{3} \sin r \implies \sin r = \frac{\sqrt{26}}{5\sqrt{3}} = \sqrt{\frac{26}{75}}$. Given the options,let's re-check the normal. If the boundary is the $x-y$ plane,the normal is $\widehat{k}$. $\cos i = \frac{|\overrightarrow{A} \cdot (-\widehat{k})|}{|A|} = \frac{10}{20} = \frac{1}{2} \implies i = 60^o$. Using Snell's Law: $\sqrt{2} \sin 60^o = \sqrt{3} \sin r \implies \sqrt{2} \cdot \frac{\sqrt{3}}{2} = \sqrt{3} \sin r \implies \sin r = \frac{\sqrt{2}}{2} = \frac{1}{\sqrt{2}} \implies r = 45^o$.
