consider the situation shown in figure


solution:
consider the figure 
l e t space mu subscript 2 equals 1.0
mu subscript 1 equals 1.25

theta to the power of " equals sin to the power of negative 1 end exponent mu subscript 2 over mu subscript 1 equals sin to the power of negative 1 end exponent fraction numerator 1.0 over denominator 1.25 end fraction equals sin to the power of negative 1 end exponent 100 over 125 equals sin to the power of negative 1 end exponent 4 over 5
theta to the power of " equals sin to the power of negative 1 end exponent 4 over 5
sin space theta to the power of " equals 4 over 5
c o n i d e r space t r i a n g l e space m a k i n g space b y space r a y
sin c e comma space space space
theta to the power of " equals straight pi over 2 minus theta to the power of apostrophe
t a k e space b o t h space s i d e space sin
sin theta to the power of " equals sin left parenthesis straight pi over 2 minus theta to the power of apostrophe right parenthesis
sin theta to the power of " equals cos theta to the power of apostrophe
o r comma sin theta to the power of " equals cos theta to the power of apostrophe equals 4 over 5
u s e space p y t h a g o r o u s space t h e o r e m space a n d space f i n d space sin theta to the power of apostrophe
s o comma space sin theta to the power of apostrophe equals 3 over 5
f r o m space s n e l l apostrophe s space l a w
fraction numerator sin theta over denominator sin theta to the power of apostrophe end fraction equals fraction numerator 1.25 over denominator 1 end fraction equals 1.25
sin theta equals 1.25 cross times sin theta to the power of apostrophe
sin theta equals 1.25 cross times 3 over 5 equals 3 over 4
sin theta equals 3 over 4
theta equals sin to the power of negative 1 end exponent 3 over 4
i f space theta to the power of " space i s space t h e space g r e a t e r space t h a n space t h e space c r i t i c a l space a n g l e comma space theta space w i l l space b e space s m a l l e r space t h a n space t h i s space v a l u e
t h u s comma space theta subscript m a x end subscript comma w h i c h space t o t a l space r e f l e c t i o n space t a k e s space p l a c e space a t space t h e space v e r t i c l e space s u r f a c e comma i s space
space theta subscript m a x end subscript equals sin to the power of negative 1 end exponent left parenthesis 3 over 4 right parenthesis
