Internal reflection at the interface between the liquids

Reference no: EM13652336

A layer of liquid B floats on liquid A. A ray of light begins in liquid A and undergoes total internal reflection at the interface between the liquids when the angle of incidence exceeds 39.0°. When liquid B is replaced with liquid C, total internal reflection occurs for angles of incidence greater that 45.1°. Find the ratio nB/nC of the refractive indices of liquids B and C.
