Three rays of light,namely red $(R)$,green $(G)$ and blue $(B)$ are incident on the face $PQ$ of a right-angled prism $PQR$ as shown in the figure. The refractive indices of the material of the prism for red,green and blue wavelengths are $1.27$,$1.42$ and $1.49$ respectively. The colour of the ray$(s)$ emerging out of the face $PR$ is:

  • A
    green
  • B
    red
  • C
    blue and green
  • D
    blue

$A$ right-angled isosceles prism is held on the surface of a liquid composed of miscible solvents $A$ and $B$ of refractive index $n_{A}=1.5$ and $n_{B}=1.3$,respectively. The refractive index of the prism is $n_{p}=1.5$ and that of the liquid is given by $n_{L}=C_{A} n_{A}+(1-C_{A}) n_{B}$,where $C_{A}$ is the percentage of solvent $A$ in the liquid. If $\theta_{C}$ is the critical angle at the prism-liquid interface,the plot which best represents the variation of the critical angle with the percentage of solvent is
