Chapter 23, Problem 76GP

A ray of light traveling in a block of glass (n = 1.52) is incident on the top surface at an angle of 57.2° with respect to the normal in the glass. If a layer of oil is placed on the top surface of the glass, the ray is totally reflected. What is the maximum possible index of refraction of the oil?
