Two transparent media $A$ and $B$ are separated by a plane boundary. The speed of light in those media are $1.5 \times 10^{8} \ m/s$ and $2.0 \times 10^{8} \ m/s$,respectively. The critical angle for a ray of light for these two media is:

  • A
    $\sin^{-1}(0.750)$
  • B
    $\tan^{-1}(0.500)$
  • C
    $\tan^{-1}(0.750)$
  • D
    $\sin^{-1}(0.500)$
