Options:

Air to water

Air to glass

Water to glass

Glass to water

Correct Answer:

Glass to water

Explanation:

The correct answer is Option (4) → Glass to water

The critical angle $(θ_c)$ for total internal reflection,

$\sin θ_c=\frac{μ_2}{μ_1}<1$

which is only possible when light is travelling from glass to water.
