A parallel beam of light is incident on a spherical drop of water (mu = 4//3) . Consider refraction of light at air-water interface, then reflection at water-air boundary (of course there will be refracted light energy in air as well), followed by refraction at water-air interface. Path of a typical ray refracted at A, then reflected at B and finally refracted at C has been shown in the Figure. Find the maximum value of angle delta . use sin^(-1) sqrt((20)/(27)) = 60^(@) and sin^(-1) sqrt((5)/(12)) = 40^(@) .
