(N/A) Total internal reflection occurs when the following two conditions are met:
$1$. The light must travel from a denser medium to a rarer medium.
$2$. The angle of incidence $(i)$ in the denser medium must be greater than the critical angle $(c)$ for the pair of media involved $(i > c)$.

$A$ water-proof laser pointer of length $10 \,cm$ is placed in a water tank. It rotates about a horizontal axis passing through its centre of mass in a vertical plane as shown in the figure. The time period of rotation is $60 \,s$. Assuming the water to be still and no reflections from the surface of the tank, the duration for which the light beam escapes the tank in one time period is close to ............. $s$. (Take, refractive index of water $= 1.33$)
