Total internal reflection - Ray optics and optical instruments
Question

A ray of light from a denser medium strike a rarer medium at an angle of incidence i. The reflected and refracted rays make an angle of  900 with each other. The angles of  reflection and refraction are r and r' . The critical angle is

Moderate
Solution

r + r'  = 90o given  μ sin i = (1) sin r'  Snell's Law 1sin c. sin i = sin (90or) 1sin c. sin i =cos r sin c = tan i c = sin1 (tan i)
