Question:

If the critical angle for total internal reflection from a medium to vacuum is 30°. Then the speed of light in the medium is?

Options:

3x108 m/s

2x108 m/s

1.75x108 m/s

1.5x108 m/s

Correct Answer:

1.5x108 m/s

Explanation:

Refractive index μ = 1/sinθc

                           = 1/sin30 =2

Refractive index μ = c/v

                        v = 3x108 / 2 = 1.5x108 m/s
