Detailed Solution
We know C=sin−11μ Given critical angle iB>iA so μB<μA i.e. B is rarer and A is denser. Hence light can be totally internally reflected when it passes from A to B Now critical angle for A to B CAB=sin−11 BμA=sin−1 AμB =sin−1μBμA=sin−1siniAsiniB
Material A has critical angle iA and material B has critical angle iBiB>iA. Then which of the following is true (i) Light can be totally internally reflected when it passes from B to A (ii) Light can be totally internally reflected when it passes from A to B (iii) Critical angle for total internal reflection is iB−iA(iv) Critical angle between A and B is sin−1siniAsiniB
