$A$ glass prism $(\mu = 1.5)$ is dipped in water $(_a\mu_w = 4/3)$ as shown in the figure. $A$ light ray is incident normally on the surface $AB$. It reaches the surface $BC$ after being totally internally reflected at the surface $AC$,if:

$A$ glass prism whose cross-section is an isosceles triangle stands with its (horizontal) base in water; the angles that its two equal sides make with the base are each $\theta$. An incident ray of light,above and parallel to the water surface,is totally internally reflected at the glass-water interface and subsequently re-emerges into the air. Take the refractive indices of glass and water to be $\frac{3}{2}$ and $\frac{4}{3}$,respectively. The maximum value of $\cos\theta$ is:

The critical angle for light going from medium $A$ into medium $B$ is $\theta$. The speed of light in medium $A$ is $V_A$. What is the speed of light in medium $B$?
