Problem

Light inside a glass block of refractive index 1.55 strikes a flat surface that is coated with a transparent layer. Rays may hit the interface at angles as large as 68∘68^{\circ} from the normal. Calculate the greatest refractive index the coating can have if all such rays are to remain totally internally reflected.
