$A$ glass slab consists of thin uniform layers of progressively decreasing refractive indices $(RI)$ such that the $RI$ of any layer is $\mu - m \Delta \mu$. Here, $\mu$ and $\Delta \mu$ denote the $RI$ of the $0^{\text{th}}$ layer and the difference in $RI$ between any two consecutive layers, respectively. The integer $m = 0, 1, 2, 3, \ldots$ denotes the number of the successive layers. $A$ ray of light from the $0^{\text{th}}$ layer enters the $1^{\text{st}}$ layer at an angle of incidence of $30^{\circ}$. After undergoing the $m^{\text{th}}$ refraction, the ray emerges parallel to the interface. If $\mu = 1.5$ and $\Delta \mu = 0.015$, the value of $m$ is:

  • A
    $20$
  • B
    $30$
  • C
    $40$
  • D
    $50$
