Solution

We observe that light bends away from normal when it goes from μ2 to μ3. Thus, we conclude that light moves from a denser to rarer medium. So, μ2 > μ3.

Also, we observe no refraction when light moves from μ3 to μ4.
Thus, these two mediums will have the same refractive index. So, μ3 = μ4.
