In figure, ABC is the cross section of a right-angled prism and ACDE is the cross section of a glass slab. The value of θ so that light incident normally on the face AB does not cross the face AC is (given sin-1(3/5) = 37°)

a
θ≤37°
b
θ<37°
c
θ≤53°
d
θ<53°

detailed solution

Correct option is B

A = 90° - θc ⇒r2=A=90°-θ>θc cos θ>sin θc=6/52/3=45∵32sinθC=65sin90 (θc is critical angle) θ < cos-145=37°
