$A$ ray of light is incident on one face of a $90^{\circ}$ prism and undergoes total internal reflection at the glass-air interface. If the angle of incidence is $45^{\circ}$,then the refractive index $n$ is:

  • A
    $n < \frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}$
  • B
    $n > \sqrt{2}$
  • C
    $n > \frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}$
  • D
    $n < \sqrt{2}$

Consider a glass cube slab of dielectric bound by the planes $x=0, x=a$; $y=0, y=b$; $z=0, z=c$; with $b > a > c$. The slab is placed in air and has a refractive index of $n$. The minimum value for $n$,such that all rays entering the dielectric at $y=0$ reach $y=b$ is
