For a given pair of transparent media, the critical angle for which colour is maximum?
Options
- AGreen
- BRed
- CBlue
- DViolet
Correct answer
B. Red
Step-by-step solution
Red light has the longest wavelength and the smallest refractive index within the visible region. Thus, it bends least when passing from glass to air. As a result, its critical angle is maximum.
