Consider a glass prism immersed in a liquid as shown below. The refractive index of glass and liquid is $1.5$ and $1.2$, respectively. $A$ ray of light enters the prism perpendicular to the face $AB$. If the ray is totally internally reflected at the face $AC$, then the largest value of angle $\theta$ is:

  • A
    $\cos ^{-1}(0.8)$
  • B
    $\sin ^{-1}(0.8)$
  • C
    $\cos ^{-1}(0.6)$
  • D
    $\sin ^{-1}(0.4)$
