Electron number densities of a layer in ...

Electron number densities of a layer in the ionosphere and of just its upper layer are respectively `4 xx 10^(11) m^(-3) and 10^(12) m^(-3)`. What would be the value of the critical angle at the interface of these two layers, for an upward motion of a radio wave of frequency 40 MHz.
