The ray will be internally reflected.

(C) For Total Internal Reflection $(TIR)$,the critical angle $C$ is given by the formula $\mu_1 \sin C = \mu_2 \sin 90^{\circ}$.Given $\mu_1 = 1.4$ (liquid) and $\mu_2 = 1$ (air).So,$1.4 \times \sin C = 1 \times 1 \Rightarrow \sin C = \frac{1}{1.4} = \frac{10}{14} = \frac{5}{7} \approx 0.714$.The sine of the angle of incidence is given as $\sin i = 0.8$.Since $\sin i > \sin C$ (because $0.8 > 0.714$),it implies that $i > C$.When the angle of incidence is greater than the critical angle,the light ray undergoes Total Internal Reflection $(TIR)$ at the boundary surface.

Critical Angle and Total Internal Reflection

$A$ rectangular glass slab $ABCD$,of refractive index $n_1$,is immersed in water of refractive index $n_2$ $(n_1 > n_2)$. $A$ ray of light is incident at the surface $AB$ of the slab as shown. The maximum value of the angle of incidence $\alpha_{max}$,such that the ray comes out only from the other surface $CD$,is given by

Consider a glass prism immersed in a liquid as shown below. The refractive index of glass and liquid is $1.5$ and $1.2$, respectively. $A$ ray of light enters the prism perpendicular to the face $AB$. If the ray is totally internally reflected at the face $AC$, then the largest value of angle $\theta$ is:
