    A glass prism of refractive index 1.5 is immersed in water\[\left( \mu =\frac{4}{3} \right)\]. Refer figure. A light beam incident normally on the face AB is totally reflected to reach the face BC, if

    A)  \[2/3<\sin \theta <8/9\]             

    B)  \[\sin \theta \le 2/3\]   

    C)         \[\cos \theta \ge 8/9\]

    D)         \[\sin \theta >8/9\]

    E)  \[\cos \theta \le 8/9\]

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

    Given \[{{\mu }_{g}}=\frac{9}{8}\] We know that\[\sin C=\frac{1}{_{w}{{\mu }_{g}}}\]                                 \[\sin C=\frac{8}{9}\]                 \[C={{\sin }^{-1}}\left( \frac{8}{9} \right)\]                 \[\theta >{{\sin }^{-1}}\frac{8}{9}\]
