A transparent cube of side d, made of a material of refractive index \[{{\mu }_{2}},\]is immersed in a liquid of refractive index \[{{\mu }_{1}}({{\mu }_{1}}<{{\mu }_{2}}).\]A ray is incident on the face AB at an angle \[\theta \](shown in the figure). Total internal reflection takes place at point E on the face BC.
