Yes; if angle of incidence is zero angle of refraction is zero regardless of index:

sin theta r = (n1/n2) sin theta i

Is the critical angle the same thing as the angle of incidence?

The critical angle is not the same thing as the angle of incidence. There is a reason the confusion. The critical angle is defined as the smallest angle of incidence which results in total internal reflection. Every plane wave incident on a flat surface has an angle of incidence. That can be any angle. When a wave travels from a dense medium to a less dense medium, there comes an angle of incidence where there is no transmission into the less dense medium. We say then that for an angle of incidence above the "critical angle" the result is total internal reflection. It is also true that with Snell's law, the critical angle is the particular angle of incidence which would result in a 90 degree angle of refraction.


True or false- the angle of incidence is always greater than the reflection angle?

False .According to laws of reflection, the angle of incidence is always equal to the angle of reflection.
