The medium in which the speed of light is half of the speed in air, if light travels from such medium to air, then for what angle of incidence light will do total internal refelction ?

Assertion : Newton's rings are formed in the reflected system. When the space between the lens and the glass plate is filled with a liquid of refractive index greater than that of glass, the central spot of the pattern is bright. Reason : This is because the reflections in these cases will be from a denser to a rarer medium and the two interfering rays are reflected under similar conditions.
