(please type answer no write by hend)

Light travels from transparent medium 1 to medium 2 is described by the Snell's law:
1₁ sin 0₁ = 1₂ sin 0₂
where medium 1 has unknown refractive index ny and medium 2 has refractive index n₂ = 1.33.
Medium 1
Medium 2
When the incident angle is increased to 50.6 degrees, the light starts to experience the total internal reflection. What is the
refractive index of medium 1? Give your answer to two decimal places i.e. #.#. Enter numbers only in the box do not enter
units. If there are trailing zeros in your answer, Canvas drops those zeros and will not display them-eg. 1.20-12.
