A glass prism (µ - I 5) is dipped in water (µ = 4/3) as shown in figure. A light ray is incident normally on the surface AB. It reaches the surface BC after totally reflected, if

a
sinθ≥8/9
b
2/3
c
sinθ≤2/3
d
It is not possible

detailed solution

Correct option is A

For TIR at ACθ>C⇒sinθ≥sinC⇒sinθ≥1 wμg⇒sinθ≥μwμg⇒sinθ≥89
