Two transparent media \({A}\) and \({B}\) are separated by a plane boundary. The speeds of light in those media are \(1.5\times 10^{8} \) m/s and \(2.0\times 10^{8} \) m/s, respectively. The critical angle for a ray of light for these two media is:
1. \(\text{tan}^{-1}(0.750)\) 2. \(\text{sin}^{-1}(0.500)\)
3. \(\text{sin}^{-1}(0.750)\) 4. \(\text{tan}^{-1}(0.500)\)

Pick the wrong statement in the context with a rainbow.

1. Rainbow is a combined effect of dispersion, refraction, and reflection of sunlight.
2. When the light rays undergo two internal reflections in a water drop, a secondary rainbow is formed.
3. The order of colors is reversed in the secondary rainbow.
4. An observer can see a rainbow when his front is towards the sun.
