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:

  • A
    $\frac{v}{\sin \theta}$
  • B
    $v \sin \theta$
  • C
    $v \cot \theta$
  • D
    $v \tan \theta$

$A$ ray of laser of a wavelength $630 \, nm$ is incident at an angle of $30^{\circ}$ at the diamond-air interface. It is going from diamond to air. The refractive index of diamond is $2.42$ and that of air is $1$. Choose the correct option.

$A$ right-angled isosceles prism is held on the surface of a liquid composed of miscible solvents $A$ and $B$ of refractive index $n_{A}=1.5$ and $n_{B}=1.3$,respectively. The refractive index of the prism is $n_{p}=1.5$ and that of the liquid is given by $n_{L}=C_{A} n_{A}+(1-C_{A}) n_{B}$,where $C_{A}$ is the percentage of solvent $A$ in the liquid. If $\theta_{C}$ is the critical angle at the prism-liquid interface,the plot which best represents the variation of the critical angle with the percentage of solvent is
