The photograph of upconversion in Color Plate 19 shows total internal reflection of the blue ray inside

Question:

The photograph of upconversion in Color Plate 19 shows total internal reflection of the blue ray inside the cuvet. The angle of incidence of the blue ray on the wall of the cuvet is ≈ 55θ. We estimate that the refractive index of the organic solvent is 1.50 and the refractive index of the fused-silica cuvet is 1.46. Calculate the critical angle for total internal reflection at the solvent/silica interface and at the silica/air interface. From your calculation, which interface is responsible for total internal reflection in the photo?
