$A$ 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:

$A$ large glass slab $(\mu = 5/3)$ of thickness $8 \text{ cm}$ is placed over a point source of light on a plane surface. It is observed that light emerges from the top surface of the slab through a circular area of radius $R \text{ cm}$. What is the value of $R$?
