The speed of light in media M1 and M2 is 1.5×108 m/s and 2.0×108 m/s respectively. A ray of light enters from medium M1 to M2 at an incidence angle i. If the ray suffers total internal reflection, the value of i is:

1. equal to \(\sin ^{-1}\left(\frac{2}{3}\right)\)
2. equal to or less than \(\sin ^{-1}\left(\frac{3}{5}\right)\) 
3. equal to or greater than \(\sin ^{-1}\left(\frac{3}{4}\right)\)
4. less than \(\sin ^{-1}\left(\frac{2}{3}\right)\)
