Question: You have two containers half full with liquid 1 . You then fill the two containers respectively with a layer of liquid 2 and 3

You have two containers half full with liquid 1. You then fill the two containers respectively with a layer of liquid 2 and 3. A ray of light traveling through the bottom layer (liquid 1) and into the top layer experiences total internal reflection off liquid 2 when the angle of incidence exceeds 46.5 and for liquid 3 total internal reflection occurs for angles of incidence greater than 50.7. Determine the ratio of the refractive indices of liquids 2 and 3(n2/n3).
