What will be the minimum angle of incidence $i$ such that total internal reflection takes place at both interfaces (in $^{\circ}$)? (Given: $\mu_1 = \sqrt{2}, \mu_2 = 2, \mu_3 = \sqrt{3}$)

Total internal reflection of a ray of light is possible when the ($i_c$ = critical angle,$i$ = angle of incidence)

$A$ glass slab has a refractive index ' $\mu$ ' with respect to air,and the critical angle for a ray of light going from glass to air is ' $\theta$ '. If a ray of light is incident from air on the glass with an angle of incidence ' $\theta$ ',then the corresponding angle of refraction is:
