A ray of laser of a wavelength 630 nm is incident at an angle of 30 ° at the diamond-air interface. It is going from diamond to air. The refractive index of diamond is 2 . 42 and that of air is 1 . Choose the correct option.
Options
- AAngle of refraction is 24 . 41 ° .
- BAngle of refraction is 30 ° .
- CRefraction is not possible.
- DAngle of refraction is 53 . 4 ° .
Correct answer
C. Refraction is not possible.
Step-by-step solution
sinθ C = 1 μ = 1 2 μ 2 < sinθ C sinθ > sinθ C θ > θ C Total internal reflection will happen.
