When a light ray is incident on a medium at an angle $i$ and refracted into a second medium at an angle $r$,the graph of $\sin r$ vs $\sin i$ is as shown below. From this,one can conclude that:
$(A)$ Velocity of light in the second medium is $1.73$ times the velocity of light in the first medium
$(B)$ Velocity of light in the first medium is $1.73$ times the velocity in the second medium
$(C)$ The critical angle for the two media is given by,$\sin i_c = \frac{1}{\sqrt{3}}$
$(D)$ The critical angle for the two media is given by,$\sin i_c = \frac{1}{2}$
