A cube of glass of refractive index 1.500 is placed on a horizontal surface separated from the lower face of the cube by a film of liquid, as shown in the diagram below.  A ray of light from outside and in a vertical plane parallel to one face of the cube strikes another vertical face of the cube at an angle of incidence i = 480 27' and after refraction, it is totally reflected at the critical angle at the glass-liquid interface. Calculate: the critical angle at the glass-liquid interface the angle of emergence of the ray from the tube

A cube of glass of refractive index 1.500 is placed on a horizontal surface separated from the lower face of the cube by a film of liquid, as shown in the diagram below. 

A ray of light from outside and in a vertical plane parallel to one face of the cube strikes another vertical face of the cube at an angle of incidence i = 480 27' and after refraction, it is totally reflected at the critical angle at the glass-liquid interface. Calculate:

  • the critical angle at the glass-liquid interface
  • the angle of emergence of the ray from the tube
