The speed of light in media ' A ' and ' B ' are 2 . 0 × 10 10 cm s - 1 and 1 . 5 × 10 10 cm s - 1 respectively. A ray of light enters from the medium B to A at an incident angle ' θ ' . If the ray suffers total internal reflection, then
Options
- Aθ = sin - 1 4 3
- Bθ > sin - 1 2 3
- Cθ > sin - 1 3 4
- Dθ < sin - 1 3 4
Correct answer
C. θ > sin - 1 3 4
Step-by-step solution
Given: v A = 2 × 10 8   m   s - 1 and v B = 1 . 5 × 10 8   m   s - 1 For critical angle: sin θ c = μ A μ B = c v A × v B c = 1 . 5 × 10 8 2 × 10 8 = 3 4 ⇒ θ c = sin - 1 3 4 Now for T I R ,   θ > θ C So, θ c > sin - 1 3 4
