Light travels in a medium with index n1 toward a boundary with another material of index n2

Question:

Light travels in a medium with index n1 toward a boundary with another material of index n2 < n1.
(a) Which is larger, the critical angle or Brewster's angle? Does the answer depend on the values of n1 and n2 (other than assuming n2 < n1)?
(b) What can you say about the critical angle and Brewster's angle for light coming the other way (from the medium with index n2 toward the medium with n1)?
