A glass prism has angle of prism  90O and a refractive index of 1.5. A ray is incident at an angle of 30O.  The ray emerges from an adjacent face at an angle of ___

a
60O
b
30O
c
45O
d
The ray does not emerge

detailed solution

Correct option is D

sinr1=  sin3003/2=13∴    r2=900−sin−113   >   600Now,  θC=sin−123=sin−10.667 < 600Since r2>θC,  total internal reflection takes place.
