Refractive index of glass from total internal reflection at 48.7°
The incidence angle 48.7º in this case, is the critical angle, i.e, the angle which makes the refraction angle 90º. We know that because in the statement of the problem, we can read the following: [..] You find that if the ray is incident on the glass-water interface at an angle to the normal...- joaopcnogueira
