Refractive index of glass = 1.5
Critical angle = Sin ⁻¹ 1/1.5 = 41.81⁰
When a light ray from glass refracts into air, then angle of deviation is r - i (difference between angle of refraction and angle of incidence). This cannot be 90 deg. (as i and r are both less than 90 deg).
When a light rays gets totally internally reflected for (i > critical angle) then the angle of deviation can be 90 deg.
Then the angle of reflection = angle of incidence.
Around the point of incidence we have,
4 * angle of incidence + 2 * 90⁰ = 360⁰
Angle of incidence = 45⁰
As this angle is more than critical angle, total internal reflection takes place.
Critical angle = Sin ⁻¹ 1/1.5 = 41.81⁰
