Critical angle of incidence for a pair of optical media is $45^{\circ}$. The refractive indices of the first and second media are in the ratio:

  • A
    $\sqrt{2}: 1$
  • B
    $1: 2$
  • C
    $1: \sqrt{2}$
  • D
    $2: 1$

$A$ ray of light travelling in a transparent medium falls on a surface separating the medium from air at an angle of incidence of $45^\circ$. The ray undergoes total internal reflection. If $n$ is the refractive index of the medium with respect to air,select the possible value$(s)$ of $n$ from the following:

What will be the minimum angle of incidence $i$ such that total internal reflection takes place at both interfaces (in $^{\circ}$)? (Given: $\mu_1 = \sqrt{2}, \mu_2 = 2, \mu_3 = \sqrt{3}$)
