Question:

One face of a prism of refractive index 1.5 and angle 75° is covered with a liquid of refractive index $\frac{3\sqrt{2}}{4}$. What should be the angle of incidence of light on the clear face of prism for which light is just totally reflected at the liquid covered face?

Options:

$\sin^{-1}(\frac{1}{4})$

$\sin^{-1}(\frac{1}{2})$

$\sin^{-1}(\frac{3}{4})$

$\sin^{-1}(\frac{2}{3})$

Correct Answer:

$\sin^{-1}(\frac{3}{4})$

Explanation:

The correct answer is Option (3) → $\sin^{-1}(\frac{3}{4})$
