BD also equals FE. Hence BD = NB, and since BC= of BD, it also equals of NB; that is, four thirds of NB equals the radius, and the angle NPB is the critical angle. The mathematical term for NB, when the radius PB equals unity, is the sine of the angle NPB; hence the critical angle is that angle, the sine of which multiplied by the index of refraction equals unity, or the sine of 90°.
