A rectangular glass block of thickness 10 cm and refractive index 1.5 is placed over a small coin.A beaker is filled with water of refractive index `4//3` to a height of 10 cm and is placed over a small block.
If the eye is slowly moved away from the normal at a certain position,the coin is found to diappear due to total internal reflection.At what surface does it happen and why?
