    Index of Refraction: n1 * sin(theta1) = n2 * sin(theta2)

    Ah, sorry. I made a little calculator mistake with brackets... No wonder the value for n1 looked odd...
  2. M

    Index of Refraction: n1 * sin(theta1) = n2 * sin(theta2)

    So that would mean that there's no guarantee whether 41.2° really is the critical angle? And Attempt 3 would only work if 41.2° is the critical angle, right?[/size]
  3. M

    Index of Refraction: n1 * sin(theta1) = n2 * sin(theta2)

    Can you assume that for sure, though? It could be that the 41.2° is bigger than the actual critical angle, which is why it reflects... =|
