To solve the problem step by step, we will use the relationship between the critical angle and the refractive indices of the media involved. ### Step 1: Understand the relationship for critical angle The critical angle \( C \) is defined by the formula: \[ \sin C = \frac{\mu_1}{\mu_2} \] where \( \mu_1 \) is the refractive index of the rarer medium and \( \mu_2 \) is the refractive index of the denser medium. ...
