The phenomenon utilised in an optical fibre is

$A$ ray of light enters from air into a denser medium of refractive index $\mu = \frac{4}{3}$,as shown in the figure. The light ray undergoes total internal reflection at the adjacent surface as shown. The maximum value of angle $\theta$ should be equal to -

$A$ ray of light enters from a rarer to a denser medium. The angle of incidence is $i$. Then the reflected and refracted rays are mutually perpendicular to each other. The critical angle for the pair of media is

Assertion: Critical angle is minimum for violet colour.
Reason: Because critical angle $\theta_c = \sin^{-1} \left( \frac{1}{\mu} \right)$ and $\mu \propto \frac{1}{\lambda}$.

The critical angle of light going from medium $A$ to medium $B$ is $\theta$. The speed of light in medium $A$ is $v$. The speed of light in medium $B$ is:
