An equilateral triangular prism of glass \((\mu=1.5)\) is placed in air. A ray of light is incident normally onto the surface \(AB.\) The ray will finally emerge:
              
1. normally from the surface \(BC.\)
2. normally from the surface \(AC.\)
3. either from the surface \(BC\) or \(AC,\) normally.
4. either from the surface \(BC\) or \(AC,\) at an angle of emergence greater than \(60^{\circ}\) but less than \(90^{\circ}.\)

An empty cylindrical beaker whose height is equal to its diameter is kept on a table. An observer's eye\((E)\) looking towards \(S\) (line of sight: \(ES\)) can see the point \(Q\) on the lower right. The angle of view, \(\theta,\) is the angle the line of sight \(ES,\) makes with the vertical \(RS\)-extended. A transparent liquid is now slowly poured into the beaker. As the liquid level rises in the beaker, the line of sight has to be continually adjusted (by increasing angle \(\theta\)) in order to keep \(Q\) visible. When the liquid fills the beaker to the brim, \(Q\) can no more be seen by adjusting the line of sight \(ES. \) The minimum refractive index of the liquid should be:
1. \(\dfrac32\) 2. \(2\)
3. \(\sqrt{\dfrac32} \) 4. \(\sqrt2\)
