The speed of light in media $A$ and $B$ are $2.0 \times 10^{10} \, cm/s$ and $1.5 \times 10^{10} \, cm/s$ respectively. $A$ ray of light enters from medium $B$ to $A$ at an incident angle $\theta$. If the ray suffers total internal reflection,then:

  • A
    $\theta = \sin^{-1}\left(\frac{3}{4}\right)$
  • B
    $\theta > \sin^{-1}\left(\frac{2}{3}\right)$
  • C
    $\theta < \sin^{-1}\left(\frac{3}{4}\right)$
  • D
    $\theta > \sin^{-1}\left(\frac{3}{4}\right)$

Assertion: The refractive index of diamond is $\sqrt{6}$ and that of liquid is $\sqrt{3}$. If the light travels from diamond to the liquid,it will be totally internally reflected when the angle of incidence is $30^{\circ}$.
Reason: $\mu = \frac{1}{\sin C}$,where $\mu$ is the refractive index of diamond with respect to the liquid.
