    $\sin ^{-1}\left(\frac{4}{7}\right)$
  • B
    $\sin ^{-1}\left(\frac{5}{8}\right)$
  • C
    $\sin ^{-1}\left(\frac{8}{9}\right)$

Assertion: The refractive index of diamond is $\sqrt{6}$ and that of liquid is $\sqrt{3}$. If the light travels from diamond to the liquid,it will be totally internally reflected when the angle of incidence is $30^{\circ}$.
Reason: $\mu = \frac{1}{\sin C}$,where $\mu$ is the refractive index of diamond with respect to the liquid.
