Monochromatic light is incident on a glass prism of angle A. If the refractive index of the material of the prism is `mu`, a ray, incident at an angle `theta`, on the face AB would get transmitted through the face AC of the prism provided:

A

` theta lt cos^(-1) [ mu sin (A + sin ^(-1)) .((1)/(mu))]`

B

`theta lt cos^(-1) [ mu sin (A + sin ^(-1)) .((1)/(mu))]`

C

`theta gt sin^(-1) [ mu sin (A - sin ^(-1)) .((1)/(mu))]`

D

`theta gt sin^(-1) [ mu sin (A- sin^(-1)) .((1)/(mu))]`
