Question:

Figure shows a glass prism of index of refraction n = 1.52 in the shape of an isosceles triangle with base angles of 45o.

(a) Find the maximum angle of incidence of the beam incident on the side face so that it suffers total internal reflection at the base.

(b) What is the maximum value of the index of refraction of the prism so that the light beam will suffer total internal reflection at the base whatever the angle ofincidence?
