A beam of light from a source \(L\) is incident normally on a plane mirror fixed at a certain distance \(x\) from the source. The beam is reflected back as a spot on a scale placed just above the source \(L.\) When the mirror is rotated through a small angle \(\theta,\) the spot of the light is found to move through a distance \(y\) on the scale. The angle \(\theta\) is given by:

1. \(\dfrac{y}{x}\) 2. \(\dfrac{x}{2y}\)
3. \(\dfrac{x}{y}\) 4. \(\dfrac{y}{2x}\)

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. \(\text{tan}^{-1}(0.500)\)
