Here are the solutions to your questions:

  1. a) To calculate the refractive index of glass:
  1. Identify the given critical angle.

    $$
    c = 42^\circ
    $$
    
  2. Use the formula relating refractive index (nn) and critical angle (cc).

    $$
    n = \frac{1}{\sin c}
    $$
    
  3. Substitute the value of cc and calculate nn.

    $$
    n = \frac{1}{\sin 42^\circ}
    $$
    $$
    n \approx \frac{1}{0.6691}
    $$
    $$
    n \approx \boxed{1.49}
    $$
    
    **b)** Two conditions necessary for total internal
