$A$ ray of monochromatic light is incident on the plane surface of separation between two media $X$ and $Y$ with angle of incidence $i$ in medium $X$ and angle of refraction $r$ in medium $Y$. The given graph shows the relation between $\sin i$ and $\sin r$. If $V_X$ and $V_Y$ are the velocities of the ray in media $X$ and $Y$ respectively, then which of the following is true?

$A$ ray of light travelling through glass of refractive index $\sqrt{2}$ is incident on a glass-air boundary at an angle of incidence of $45^{\circ}$. If the refractive index of air is $1$,then the angle of refraction will be: $[\sin 45^{\circ} = \frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}, \sin 90^{\circ} = 1]$ (in $^{\circ}$)
