$A$ light ray from air is incident (as shown in figure) at one end of a glass fiber (refractive index $\mu = 1.5$) making an incidence angle of $60^o$ on the lateral surface,so that it undergoes a total internal reflection. How much time would it take to traverse the straight fiber of length $1 \ km$ (in $\mu s$)?

  • A
    $3.33$
  • B
    $6.67$
  • C
    $5.77$
  • D
