For total internal reflection at surface AB, angle θ must be greater than or equal to the critical angle i1
given by

 sin i1=μ2μ1=22=12

which gives i1=45o
For total internal reflection at surface CD, angle θ must be greater than or equal to the critical angle i2 given by

sin i2=μ3μ1=32

which gives i2=60o.

Hence, for total internal reflection at both the surfaces AB and CD, the minimum value of θ=60o.
