$A$ ray of light from a denser medium strikes a rarer medium. The angle of reflection is $r$ and that of refraction is $r'$. The reflected and refracted rays make an angle of $90^{\circ}$ with each other. The critical angle will be

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