Physics: Consider a ray in a material of unknown index of refraction ...?

Consider a ray in a material of unknown index of refraction incident upon an interface with a material with an index of refraction of 1.06. You find that the critical angle is 50.19 degrees. What is the index of refraction of the first material?

Any help will be greatly appreciated.
