l=2m

d=20\; \mu m

\Theta _{1}=40^{o}

\mu =1.31

 

Snells law for 1st surface

1.\sin (40)=\mu .\sin r=1.31\sin r=0.64

\sin r=\frac{0.64}{1.31}\approx \frac{1}{2}

\Rightarrow \: r=30^{o}

and \Theta =90-r=60^{o}

For T.I.R at 2nd surface

\Theta >C and (\sin \Theta >\sin C\Rightarrow \sin 60>\frac{1}{1.3}\Rightarrow \frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}>\frac{1}{1.3})

So \Theta >C

So T.I.R will happen

So \tan r=\frac{d}{l_{1}}\Rightarrow l_{1}=\frac{d}{\tan (30)}=20\sqrt{3}\mu m

n=no.of \; reflection

So n=\frac{l}{l_{1}}=\frac{2}{20\sqrt{3}\times 10^{-6}}

n\approx 57000
