$A$ glass prism whose cross-section is an isosceles triangle stands with its (horizontal) base in water; the angles that its two equal sides make with the base are each $\theta$. An incident ray of light,above and parallel to the water surface,is totally internally reflected at the glass-water interface and subsequently re-emerges into the air. Take the refractive indices of glass and water to be $\frac{3}{2}$ and $\frac{4}{3}$,respectively. The maximum value of $\cos\theta$ is:

The speed of light in media $M_1$ and $M_2$ are $1.5 \times 10^8 \ m/s$ and $2.0 \times 10^8 \ m/s$ respectively. $A$ ray of light enters from medium $M_1$ to $M_2$ at an incidence angle $i$. If the ray suffers total internal reflection,the value of $i$ is
