$A$ wide slab consisting of two media of refractive indices $n_1$ and $n_2$ is placed in air as shown in the figure. $A$ ray of light is incident from medium $n_1$ to $n_2$ at an angle $\theta$,where $\sin \theta$ is slightly larger than $1/n_1$. Take the refractive index of air as $1$. Which of the following statement$(s)$ is(are) correct?
$(A)$ The light ray enters air if $n_2 = n_1$
