A ray of light is incident at the interface between medium A and medium B as shown in Figure 2a. The refractive index of medium A and medium B is 1.41 and 1.37 respectively. The light ray is totally internally reflected back into medium A. After that, medium B is replaced with a layer of water that has a refractive index of 1.33 as shown in Figure 2b. Determine if total internal reflection will also occur at the Medium A-water interface in Figure 2b. Assume that the incident angle in Figure 2a is the same as the incident angle in Figure 2b. Show your workings clearly and explain your reasoning.
