$A$ ray of light travels from an optically denser medium to a rarer medium. The critical angle for the two media is $C$. The maximum possible deviation of the refracted light ray can be:

  • A
    $\pi - C$
  • B
    $2C$
  • C
    $\pi - 2C$
  • D
    $\frac{\pi}{2} - C$

$A$ rectangular glass slab $ABCD$,of refractive index $n_1$,is immersed in water of refractive index $n_2$ $(n_1 > n_2)$. $A$ ray of light is incident at the surface $AB$ of the slab as shown. The maximum value of the angle of incidence $\alpha_{max}$,such that the ray comes out only from the other surface $CD$,is given by
