A light ray travels inside a horizontal plate of glass, striking its upper surface at an angle

Question:

A light ray travels inside a horizontal plate of glass, striking its upper surface at an angle of incidence of \(60^{\circ}\). This ray is totally internally reflected at the glass-air boundary. A liquid is then poured on top of the glass. What is the largest index of refraction that the liquid could have such that the ray is still totally internally reflected?
