A transparent cube of side, made of a material of refractive index \(\mu_2\), is immersed in a liquid of refractive index \(\mu_1(\mu_1<\mu_2)\) . A ray is incident on the face \(AB\) at an angle \(\theta\) (shown in the figure). Total internal reflection takes place at point \(E\) on the face \(BC\).

                   
Then \(\theta\) must satisfy:
1. \(\theta>\sin^{-1}\sqrt{\frac{\mu_2^2}{\mu_1^2}-1} \)
2. \(\theta<\sin^{-1}\sqrt{\frac{\mu_2^2}{\mu_1^2}-1} \)
3. \(\theta<\sin^{-1}\frac{\mu_1}{\mu_2}\)
4. \(\theta>\sin^{-1}\frac{\mu_1}{\mu_2}\)
