The Attempt at a Solution

I'm not really sure on the approach to take for this question. Since it proves 2 angles, Snell's Law could prove to be beneficial.

Thanks for the help!

First , use the snell's law on the bottom surface to connect the critical angle to the refractive index of the block. For the vertical surface, the angle of transmission is 90-\theta_c using basic geometry. then use snell's law again at the vertical surface. at the vertical surface angle of incidence is \theta_1
