In the diagram shown,a ray of light is incident on the interface between medium $1$ and $2$ at an angle slightly greater than the critical angle. The light undergoes total internal reflection at this interface. After that,the light ray falls on the interface of medium $1$ and $3$,and again it undergoes total internal reflection. Which of the following relations should hold true?

$A$ point source of light is placed at the bottom of a vessel,which is filled with water of refractive index $\mu$ to a height $h$. If a floating opaque disc has to be placed exactly above it so that the source is invisible from above,the radius of the disc should be:
