The critical angle for total internal reflection of light going from medium $I$ to medium $II$ is given by the relation $\tan i_C = \frac{5}{9}$. The refractive index of medium $I$ with respect to medium $II$ is:

  • A
    $1.8$
  • B
    $1.6$
  • C
    $\frac{\sqrt{156}}{5}$
  • D
    $\frac{\sqrt{106}}{5}$
