The refractive index of glass is $\frac{3}{2}$ and that of water is $\frac{4}{3}$. The critical angle for a ray of light going from glass to water is

  • A
    $\sin ^{-1}\left(\frac{4}{7}\right)$
  • B
    $\sin ^{-1}\left(\frac{5}{8}\right)$
  • C
    $\sin ^{-1}\left(\frac{2}{3}\right)$
  • D
    $\sin ^{-1}\left(\frac{8}{9}\right)$
