The refractive index for glycerine is 
, while for air it is 
.
When the light travels from a medium with greater refractive index to a medium with lower refractive index, there is a critical angle over which there is no refraction, but all the light is reflected. This critical angle is given by:
where n1 and n2 are the refractive indices of the two mediums. If we susbtitute the refractive index of glycerine and air in the formula, we find the critical angle for this case:

Explanation:
Since, it is mentioned the there occurs no change in the temperature. This also means that there will occur no change in thermal energy of the system.
Hence, = 0. And, as
= 0 then there will be no work involved. This means that total energy added to the house will return to the outside air as heat.
Therefore,
Q = -(19000 J + 2000 J)
= -21000 J
or, |Q| = 21000 J
Thus, we can conclude that the magnitude of the energy transfer between the house and the outside air is 21000 J.
