A layer of liquid B floats on liquid A. A ray of light begins inliquid A and undergoes total internal reflection at the interfacebetween the liquids when the angle of incidence exceeds 39.5°. Whenliquid B is replaced with liquid C, total internal reflectionoccurs for angles of incidence greater than 36.5°. Find the rationB/nC of the refractive indices of liquids B and C.
nB/nC =
