    Answer:

    option B

    Explanation:

    Given,

    Refractive index of the glass, n₂ = 1.50

    Refractive index of plastic, n₁ = 1.30

    critical angle = ?

    \theta_{critical}=\sin^{-1} (\dfrac{n_1}{n_2})

    n₁ is the refractive index of the rare medium

    n₂ is the refractive index of the denser medium.

    \theta_{critical}=\sin^{-1} (\dfrac{1.30}{1.50})

    \theta_{critical}=\sin^{-1} (0.8667)

    \theta_{critical}=60.1^\circ

    The correct answer is option B
