$A$ ray of light travelling in water is incident on its surface open to air. The angle of incidence is $\theta$,which is less than the critical angle. Then there will be

$A$ point source of light $S$ is placed at the bottom of a vessel containing a liquid of refractive index $\mu = 5/3$. $A$ person is viewing the source from above the surface. There is an opaque disc $D$ of radius $r = 1\, cm$ floating on the surface of the liquid. The centre of the disc lies vertically above the source $S$. The liquid from the vessel is gradually drained out through a tap. The maximum height $h$ of the liquid for which the source cannot be seen at all from above is: (in $, cm$)
