Questions  

If velocity of light in air is 3×108 m/s and that in water is2×108m/s , then what would be the critical angle?

a
sin−1(3/2)
b
tan−1(3/2)
c
tan−1(2/3)
d
sin−1(2/3)

detailed solution

Correct option is D

aμw=velocity of light in air velocity of light in water =3×1082×108=32 sinC=1aμw        [where c is the critical angle ]∴ sinC=13/2=(23)  or C=sin−1(23)
