X rays are typically used to kill off cancer cells, however an issue some radiologists run into is the damage an x-ray may do to surrounding tissue. Because of this, accuracy plays a key role in radiation therapy. Suppose you are a medical physicist, and you have been given the task of choosing a medium with a proper index of refraction to bend the x rays such that they only hit the tumor. Suppose you know that the x ray comes in at an angle of 20 degrees with respect to the normal of your second medium. You know the tumor expands out to 5 degrees on either side of the normal what is the minimum index of refraction needed for the x ray to hit the tumor
