A ray of light travels from a medium of refractive index 2 to another medium of refractive index ( 2 ). Total internal reflection takes place when the angle of incidence is
Options
- A(30^ )
- B(45^ )
- C(60^ )
- D(80^ )
Correct answer
B. (45^ )
Step-by-step solution
Refractive index of first medium, ( ₁=2 ) Refractive index of second medium, ( ₂= 2 ) If (i_C ) be the angle of incidence in the case of total internal reflection, then ( array ll & ^2 ₁= 1 i_C ₁ ₂ = 1 i_C & 2 2 = 1 i_C 2 = 1 i_C & i_C= 1 2 i_C= 45^ & i_C=45^ array )
