$A$ monochromatic beam of light is incident at the interface of two materials of refractive index $n_{1}$ and $n_{2}$ as shown. If $n_{1} > n_{2}$ and $\theta_{C}$ is the critical angle,then which of the following statements is $NOT$ true?

  • A
    $\theta_{1} = \theta_{3}$,for all values of $\theta_{1}$.
  • B
    $\cos \theta_{2}$ is imaginary,for $\theta_{1} > \theta_{C}$.
  • C
    $\cos \theta_{2} = 0$,for $\theta_{1} = \theta_{C}$.
  • D
    $\cos \theta_{3}$ is imaginary,for $\theta_{1} = \theta_{C}$.

Initially,$AB$ is the interface of a slab of refractive index $\mu$ and air. $A$ ray of light strikes $AB$ at the critical angle $\theta_c$. Now,a slab $ABCD$ of refractive index $\mu_1$ is placed on top such that total internal reflection takes place at the surface $CD$ (and not at the surface $AB$). What should be the value of $\mu_1$?
