maximum of perfecting next for the material for ah critical angle over 45. Um, he's given by the relation that is a sign off. A critical angle particularly is cool. Thio is it cool to refractive index off air derided by refractive index over material. So, uh, then solving for refractive index of the deal that is equal to a tractor. Next off air is one divided by sign off 45 45 And, uh, simplifying this expression gives us refracting tips. Off material is one point for 14 End off the problem. Thank you for watching.
