Light travels from air into a glass block with an angle of incidence in air of 40.0°. The block is then submerged in a liquid and the light now travels from air, through the liquid and into the glass. When the angle of incidence in the liquid is 18.0°, the angle of refraction in the glass is the same as when the light entered the glass from air. Determine the index of refraction of the liquid.
