In the diagram shown,a ray of light is incident on the interface between medium $1$ and $2$ at an angle slightly greater than the critical angle. The light undergoes total internal reflection at this interface. After that,the light ray falls on the interface of medium $1$ and $3$,and again it undergoes total internal reflection. Which of the following relations should hold true?
