Problem 09: Referring to the light ray being refracted at the prism surface in the precedingProblem, consider what happens when the angle a is gradually reduced. At what (reduced)value of a, if any, will the refracted light ray inside the prism disappear? In other words,what is the maximum value of a, for which, if at all, total internal reflection (TIR)occurs at the prism surface?Hint: Use the values of a and ß given in the preceding Problem, to find the ratio ng/n.You only need that ratio!aBnG(A) aMax41.4°(B) aMax = 23.4°(C) TIR will not occur for any value of a because the Angle of Refraction is always smallerthan the Angle of Incidence, for any a.(D) TIR will not occur for any value of a because the Angle of Refraction is always greaterthan the Angle of Incidence, for any a.(E) TIR will not occur for any value of a because the liquid has a higher index of refractionthan the glass: ni > nG.
