Problem

At an interface with water (n=1.33n=1.33), a designer wants light incident inside an unknown transparent material at 50o50^{\tiny\text{o}} (measured from the normal) to be totally internally reflected. Determine the minimum possible index of refraction the material must have to ensure this condition is met.
