SUMMARY
When the angle of incidence on a glass slab is 0 degrees, both reflection and refraction occur. The incident light at this angle is partially reflected back along the direction of incidence and partially transmitted into the glass slab. This behavior is consistent with the principles of optics, specifically Snell's Law, which governs the interaction of light with different media.
