Layers of different materials with air above-below layers

Reference no: EM13520667

The drawing shows three layers of different materials, with air above and below the layers. The interfaces between the layers are parallel. The index of refraction of each layer is given in the drawing. Identical rays of light are sent into the layers, and light zigzags through each layer, reflecting from the top and bottom surfaces. The index of refraction for air is nair = 1.00. For each layer, the ray of light has an angle of incidence of 81.1?. For the cases in which total internal refection is possible from either the top or bottom surface of a layer, determine the amount by which the angle of incidence exceeds the critical angle.
