Problem regarding refraction of light question

AI Thread Summary
The discussion revolves around a student's difficulty in solving a light refraction problem related to total internal reflection, intended for a physics class. The student struggles to apply trigonometry and lacks sufficient information to begin the problem. Participants suggest using Snell's Law to relate angles of incidence and refraction, emphasizing the need to show attempted solutions for better assistance. The conversation highlights the importance of understanding the relationship between angles in refraction scenarios. Overall, the thread illustrates common challenges faced in physics homework related to light behavior.

I have a problem in this question ... and i can't get an answer . Also please mention for which class is this question meant for if you know :) .

I tried solving it but can't apply trygnometery to the angle A for the prism .

P.S: I couldn't find the homework forum so i asked here :) .

What did you try so far? What is the relation between angle of incidence and angle of refraction?

Only this id given in the question . I can't even start . Only its a example of total internal reflection .
 
I know snells law. Can you do the question ?

It is supposed that you show what you tried so far and where you are stuck. Is there only one angle so no ray emerges from the face AC?
