The drawing shows a crystalline quartz slab with a rectangular cross section. A ray of light strikes the slab at an incident angle of θ1 = 39°, enters the quartz, and travels to point P. This slab is surrounded by a fluid with a refractive index n. What is the maximum value of n such that total internal reflection occurs at point P? (nquartz = 1.544)

The figure below shows the path of a beam of light through
several layers with different indices of refraction. (Assume
n4 = 1.10.)
An illustration shows four media, represented as long,
horizontal rectangles, arranged one on top of the other such that
each medium has a higher index of refraction than the medium below
it. The indexes of the four media from top to bottom are as
