refraction

Hi everyone,

its a diagram question which is a bit hard to explain but ill give it a go.
The diagram shows a cube of glass, a ray of light, incident at the centre of a face of the cube, at an angle of incidence Ø, goes on to meet another face at an angle of incidence of 50%. the critical angle of the glass-air boundary = 45%.

i) determine the refractive index of the glass i got 1.41sf

ii)calculate the angle of incidence Ø use 1n2 = sinØ1
_
sinØ2

its confusing enough as im new to it :smile:
