AI Generated Solution

To solve the problem, we need to derive an expression relating the angle of incidence (I), the angle of the prism (A), and the critical angle (C) when a ray of light undergoes total internal reflection at the second face of a glass prism. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding the Geometry of the Prism**: - Consider a glass prism with a refractive index \( \mu \) and a refracting angle \( A \). - A ray of light is incident on the first face of the prism at an angle \( I \). ...
