Given below are two statements:
Statement $I$: If the Brewster's angle for the light propagating from air to glass is $\theta_B$,then Brewster's angle for the light propagating from glass to air is $\frac{\pi}{2} - \theta_B$.
Statement $II$: The Brewster's angle for the light propagating from glass to air is $\tan^{-1}(\mu_g)$ where $\mu_g$ is the refractive index of glass.
In the light of the above statements,choose the correct answer from the options given below:

The refractive index of a medium is equal to the tangent of the polarizing angle. This is known as:

The polarising angle for a transparent medium is $\theta$,and $v$ is the speed of light in that medium. Then the relation between $\theta$ and $v$ is (where $c$ is the velocity of light in air).

The polarising angle of a transparent medium is $\theta$. Let the speed of light in the medium be $v$. Then the relation between $\theta$ and $v$ is [where $c$ is the velocity of light in air].

The critical angle of a certain medium is $\sin^{-1}\left(\frac{3}{5}\right)$. The polarizing angle of the medium is
