The speed of light in media $M_{1}$ and $M_{2}$ are $1.5 \times 10^{8} \text{ m/s}$ and $2 \times 10^{8} \text{ m/s}$ respectively. $A$ ray travels from medium $M_{1}$ to the medium $M_{2}$ with an angle of incidence $\theta$. The ray suffers total internal reflection. Then the value of the angle of incidence $\theta$ is

  • A
    $ > \sin^{-1}\left(\frac{3}{4}\right)$
  • B
    $ < \sin^{-1}\left(\frac{3}{4}\right)$
  • C
    $ = \sin^{-1}\left(\frac{3}{4}\right)$
  • D
    $ \leq \sin^{-1}\left(\frac{3}{4}\right)$

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

$A$ wide slab consisting of two media of refractive indices $n_1$ and $n_2$ is placed in air as shown in the figure. $A$ ray of light is incident from medium $n_1$ to $n_2$ at an angle $\theta$,where $\sin \theta$ is slightly larger than $1/n_1$.
