Ray of light is traveling in glass-strikes glass interface

Reference no: EM13664533

A ray of light is traveling in glass and strikes a glass/liquid interface. The angle of incidence is 56.0°, and the index of refraction of glass is n = 1.50.

a) What should be the index of refraction of the liquid such that the direction of the light entering the liquid is not changed?

b) What is the largest index of refraction that the liquid can have, such that none of the light is transmitted into the liquid and all of it is reflected back into the glass?
