$A$ magician during a show makes a glass lens with $n = 1.47$ disappear in a trough of liquid. What is the refractive index of the liquid? Could the liquid be water?

$A$ monochromatic light is travelling in a medium of refractive index $n=1.6$. It enters a stack of glass layers from the bottom side at an angle $\theta=30^{\circ}$. The interfaces of the glass layers are parallel to each other. The refractive indices of different glass layers are monotonically decreasing as $n_m=n-m \Delta n$,where $n_m$ is the refractive index of the $m^{\text{th}}$ slab and $\Delta n=0.1$ (see the figure). The ray is refracted out parallel to the interface between the $(m-1)^{\text{th}}$ and $m^{\text{th}}$ slabs from the right side of the stack. What is the value of $m$?
