To solve the problem, we need to find the critical angle and the refractive index of the glass slab when a ray of light is incident at an angle of \(70^\circ\) and just grazes the adjacent vertical surface after refraction. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding the Geometry**: - We have a glass slab with a horizontal surface. The ray of light is incident at an angle of \(70^\circ\) to the normal at the horizontal surface. - After refraction, the ray grazes the adjacent vertical surface, which means it undergoes total internal reflection at the vertical surface. ...
