A horizontal cylinderical tank (6)/(pi)m in diameter is half full of water. The space above the water is filled with a pressurized gas of unknown refractive index. A small laser can move along the curved bottom of the water and aims a light beam towards the centre of the water surface. When the laser has moved a distance s=1m or more (measured from curved face) from the lowest point in water, no light enters the gas. The refractive index of gas is (mu_("water") = 4//3)
