    Finding critical angle: not sure which one is correct

    There was no value for index of refraction given in the problem, I had to solve for what it was for plastic and make the assumption that it was 1.33 for water

    Finding critical angle: not sure which one is correct

    the question is the statement

    Finding critical angle: not sure which one is correct

    so would attempt two be the more correct option or way to approach the problem?

    Finding critical angle: not sure which one is correct

    Attempt one: 1sin(35.8) = n2sin(90) n2=0.58 1.33sin(𝜃)=0.58sin(90) 𝜃_c=25.8 Attempt two: n1=n2/sin𝜃_c n1=1/sin(35.8) n1 = 1.7 sin𝜃_c = 1.33 / 1.7 𝜃_c = 51.57
