The speed of light in a medium whose critical angle is 60° will be |
$2.6 × 10^8 m/s$ $1.5× 10^8 m/s$ $3 × 10^8 m/s$ $2 × 10^8 m/s$ |
$2.6 × 10^8 m/s$ |
The correct answer is Option (1) → $2.6 × 10^8 m/s$ The relationship between the critical angle & refractive indices (μ) is - $\sin θ_c=\frac{μ_2}{μ_1}$ $⇒\sin 60°=\frac{1}{μ_1}⇒μ_1=\frac{2}{\sqrt{3}}≃1.555$ and, Speed of light, $v=\frac{c}{μ_1}=\frac{3×10^8}{1.555}$ $≃2.6×10^8m/s$ |
