Light that is initially travelling in a layer of diamond is incident on a layer of sapphire as shown in
Figure 5. The sapphire layer has thickness T = 3 cm. The angle inside the sapphire is 6, = 50°.
When the light reaches a third layer, it experiences total internal reflection. The material of the
third layer is unknown. Figure 5 also shows a table with indices of refraction for various materials.
