The refractive index of air with respect to glass is expressed as gμa = sin isin r.
(a) Write down a similar expression for gμa in terms of the angles i and r.
(b) If angle r = 90∘, what is the corresponding angle i called?

The refractive index of air w.r.t. glass is expressed as gμa = sini/sinr
If the angle r = 90o, what is the corresponding angle ‘i’ called ?
Glass has refractive index u with respect to air and the critical angle for a ray of light going from glass to air is θ. If a ray of light is incident from air on the glasses with the angle of incidence θ, the corresponding angle of refraction is
