The critical angle for a monochromatic light going from medium $A$ to medium $B$ is $\theta$. If the speed of light in medium $A$ is $V$, then the speed of light in medium $B$ is

  • A
    $V (1 - \cos\theta)$
  • B
    $\frac{V}{\cos\theta}$
  • C
    $\frac{V}{\sin\theta}$
  • D
    $V (1 - \sin\theta)$
