$A$ cylindrical transparent rod of refractive index $\mu = \frac{2}{\sqrt{3}}$ is surrounded by air. $A$ light ray is incident at the midpoint of one end of the rod as shown in the figure. The angle of incidence $\theta$ for which the light ray undergoes total internal reflection at the side wall of the rod is:

  • A
    $\sin^{-1}\left(\frac{2}{\sqrt{3}}\right)$
  • B
    $\sin^{-1}\left(\frac{1}{\sqrt{3}}\right)$
  • C
    $\sin^{-1}\left(\frac{1}{2}\right)$
  • D
    $\sin^{-1}\left(\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}\right)$

$A$ planar structure of length $L$ and width $W$ is made of two different optical media of refractive indices $n_1=1.5$ and $n_2=1.44$ as shown in the figure. If $L \gg W$,a ray entering from end $AB$ will emerge from end $CD$ only if the total internal reflection condition is met inside the structure. For $L = 9.6 \ m$,if the incident angle $\theta$ is varied,the maximum time taken by a ray to exit the plane $CD$ is $t \times 10^{-9} \ s$,where $t$ is. . . . . . .
