Question:

In Figure, light initially in material 1 refracts into material 2, crosses that material, and is then incident at the critical angle on the interface between materials 2 and 3. The indexes of refraction are n1 = 1.60, n2 = 1.40, and n3 = 1.20.

(a) What is angle θ?

(b) If θ is increased, is there refraction of light into material 3?
