Answer:

So the answer would be no, because the medium 1 value must be greater than the value of medium 2.

Step-by-step explanation:

The value of n1 must be greater than the value of n2.

Medium 1 - Index of Refraction (n1): 1.52

Medium 2 - Index of Refraction (n2): 1.92

I think that is correct
