$A$ point source of light $S$ is placed at the bottom of a vessel containing a liquid of refractive index $\mu = 5/3$. $A$ person is viewing the source from above the surface. There is an opaque disc $D$ of radius $r = 1\, cm$ floating on the surface of the liquid. The centre of the disc lies vertically above the source $S$. The liquid from the vessel is gradually drained out through a tap. The maximum height $h$ of the liquid for which the source cannot be seen at all from above is: (in $, cm$)

Assertion: Critical angle is minimum for violet colour.
Reason: Because critical angle $\theta_c = \sin^{-1} \left( \frac{1}{\mu} \right)$ and $\mu \propto \frac{1}{\lambda}$.
