Reversal in the ray direction of propagation


A ray of light enters the long side of a 45-90-45 prism and undergoes two total internal reflections, as indicated in the figure . The result is a reversal in the ray's direction of propagation. Find the minimum value of the prism's index of refraction, , for these internal reflections to be total.
