A point source of light `S` is placed at the bottom of a vessel containing a liquid of refractive index `5//3`. A person is viewing the source from above the surface. There is an opaque disc of radius `1 cm` floating on the surface. The centre of disc lies vertically above the source `O`. The liquid from the vessel is gradually drained out through a tap. What is the maximum height of the liquid for which the source cannot be seen at all.

A

1.50 cm

B

1.64 cm

C

1.33 cm

D

1.86 cm
