$A$ prism has a refractive index of $1.5$. If a light ray undergoes total internal reflection at the interface with a liquid,what is the maximum possible refractive index of the liquid? (Refer to the provided diagram for geometry).

Assertion: The refractive index of diamond is $\sqrt{6}$ and that of liquid is $\sqrt{3}$. If the light travels from diamond to the liquid,it will be totally internally reflected when the angle of incidence is $30^{\circ}$.
Reason: $\mu = \frac{1}{\sin C}$,where $\mu$ is the refractive index of diamond with respect to the liquid.

The refractive index of glass is $\frac{3}{2}$ and that of water is $\frac{4}{3}$. The critical angle for a ray of light going from glass to water is
