At the interface between two materials having refractive indices $n_1$ and $n_2$,the critical angle for reflection of an electromagnetic wave is $\theta_{1C}$. The $n_2$ material is replaced by another material having refractive index $n_3$,such that the critical angle at the interface between $n_1$ and $n_3$ materials is $\theta_{2C}$. If $n_3 > n_2 > n_1$,$\frac{n_2}{n_3} = \frac{2}{5}$,and $\sin \theta_{2C} - \sin \theta_{1C} = \frac{1}{2}$,then $\theta_{1C}$ is:

  • A
    $\sin^{-1}(\frac{1}{3})$
  • B
    $\sin^{-1}(\frac{2}{3})$
  • C
    $\sin^{-1}(\frac{5}{6})$
  • D
    $\sin^{-1}(\frac{1}{6})$

Initially,$AB$ is the interface of a slab of refractive index $\mu$ and air. $A$ ray of light strikes $AB$ at the critical angle $\theta_c$. Now,a slab $ABCD$ of refractive index $\mu_1$ is placed on top such that total internal reflection takes place at the surface $CD$ (and not at the surface $AB$). What should be the value of $\mu_1$?
