As shown,a narrow beam of light is incident onto a semi-circular glass cylinder of radius $R.$ Light can exit the cylinder when the beam is at the centre. When the beam is moved parallel to a distance $d$ from the central line,no light can exit the cylinder from its lower surface. Find the refractive index of the glass.

  • A
    $\frac{R}{d}$
  • B
    $\frac{d}{R}$
  • C
    $\frac{R}{\sqrt{R^2-d^2}}$
  • D
    $\frac{\sqrt{R^2-d^2}}{R}$

$A$ 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:
