A light ray of wavelength 589 nm is incident at an angle θ on the top surface

Question:

A light ray of wavelength 589 nm is incident at an angle θ on the top surface of a block of polystyrene, as shown in Figure P35.61.
(a) Find the maximum value of θ for which the refracted ray undergoes total internal reflection at the left vertical face of the block. What If? Repeat the calculation for the case in which the polystyrene block is immersed in
(b) Water and
(c) Carbon disulfide.
