With respect to air, the critical angle in a medium for red light of wave length ₁ is . Other facts remaining same, critical angle for yellow light of wave length ₂ will be
Options
- Amore than
- Bless than
- C₁ ₂
Correct answer
C. ₁ ₂
Step-by-step solution
Critical angle = ⁻¹ ( 1 n )= ⁻¹ ( v c ) Critical angle = ⁻¹ ( f c ) ( v = c n ) for red light, = ⁻¹ ( f ₁ c )( v=f ) for yellow light ^ = ⁻¹ ( f ₂ c ) Since ₁> ₂ then ^ <
