In the above figure

QR is reflected ray and QS is refracted ray. QT is tangent and OQ is normal. 

\begin{array}{l} \text { At P, } \mu \cdot \sin 60^{\circ}=\sqrt{3} \sin r \\ \Rightarrow \quad \frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}=\sqrt{2} \sin r \\ \Rightarrow \sin r=\frac{1}{2} \quad \therefore \quad r=30^{\circ} \end{array}

Similarly

At \ \ Q \\ \ \ \sqrt{3} \sin r=\operatorname{sini}^{\prime} \\ \therefore i^{\prime}=60^{\circ}

\therefore \ Angle \ between \ \ QR \ \ and \ \ QS\\ \Rightarrow(\angle \mathrm{RQS})=90^{\circ}
