Find the maximum possible index of refraction of the oil

Reference no: EM13493652

A beam of light traveling in a block of glass (n=1.60) is incident on the top surface at an angle of 55° with respect to the normal. When a layer of oil is placed on the top surface, the light is totally reflected in the glass. What is the maximum possible index of refraction of the oil?
