$A$ ray of light travels from an optically denser to a rarer medium. The critical angle for the two media is $C$. The maximum possible deviation of the ray will be

Consider light travelling from a medium $A$ to medium $B$ separated by a plane interface. If the light undergoes total internal reflection during its travel from medium $A$ to $B$ and the speed of light in media $A$ and $B$ are $2.4 \times 10^8 \ m/s$ and $2.7 \times 10^8 \ m/s$ respectively, then the value of critical angle is:

Assertion: The maximum refractive index of the liquid for total internal reflection of the ray passing through the prism as shown in the figure must be $\sqrt 2$.
Reason: Here,the critical angle is $45^o$.

$A$ beam of light consists of red,green,and blue colors. It is incident on the $AB$ face of a right-angled prism as shown in the figure. The refractive indices for red,green,and blue colors are $1.39$,$1.44$,and $1.47$ respectively. What will a person see when looking at the $AC$ surface of the prism?
