To solve this problem it is necessary to use the concepts related to Snell's law.
Snell's law establishes that reflection is subject to
Where,
Angle between the normal surface at the point of contact
n = Indices of refraction for corresponding media
The total internal reflection would then be given by
Therefore the would be equal to
Therefore the largest value of the angle α is 30.27°
<span>One half-life produces (1/2) of the decaying substance.
There would still be 48 atoms. But 24 would have thrown off
particles from their nucleuses, and only 24 would still be radioactive.</span>
