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.

$A$ cylindrical transparent rod of refractive index $\mu = \frac{2}{\sqrt{3}}$ is surrounded by air. $A$ light ray is incident at the midpoint of one end of the rod as shown in the figure. The angle of incidence $\theta$ for which the light ray undergoes total internal reflection at the side wall of the rod is:
