$A$ ray of light propagates from glass (refractive index $= 3/2$) to water (refractive index $= 4/3$). The value of the critical angle is:

  • A
    $sin^{-1}(1/2)$
  • B
    $sin^{-1}(\sqrt{8}/9)$
  • C
    $sin^{-1}(8/9)$
  • D
    $sin^{-1}(5/7)$

Assertion: The air bubble shines in water.
Reason: Air bubble in water shines due to refraction of light.

Let the refractive index of a denser medium with respect to a rarer medium be $n_{12}$ and its critical angle be $\theta_C$. At an angle of incidence $A$ when light is travelling from a denser medium to a rarer medium,a part of the light is reflected and the rest is refracted,and the angle between the reflected and refracted rays is $90^o$. Angle $A$ is given by
