$A$ point source $S$ is placed at the bottom of a transparent block of height $h = 10 \ mm$ and refractive index $n_B = 2.72$. It is immersed in a liquid of lower refractive index $n_L$ as shown in the figure. It is found that the light emerging from the block into the liquid forms a circular bright spot of diameter $D = 11.54 \ mm$ on the top surface of the block. The refractive index of the liquid $n_L$ is:

Assertion: The air bubble shines in water.
Reason: Air bubble in water shines due to refraction of light.
