$A$ glass prism of refractive index $1.5$ is immersed in water (refractive index $\frac{4}{3}$) as shown in the figure. $A$ light beam incident normally on the face $AB$ is totally internally reflected at the face $AC$ to reach the face $BC$,if:

  • A
    $\sin \theta > \frac{5}{9}$
  • B
    $\sin \theta > \frac{2}{3}$
  • C
    $\sin \theta > \frac{8}{9}$
  • D
    $\sin \theta > \frac{1}{3}$
