When a ray of light enters from denser medium to rarer medium, its velocity is doubled. The critical angle for total internal reflection will be: |
60° 45° 30° 90° |
30° |
The correct answer is Option (3) → 30° The refractive index of a medium is - $μ=\frac{velocity\,in\,rarer\,medium}{velocity\,in\,denser\,medium}$ $∴μ=\frac{2v}{v}$ [v → velocity in denser medium] $μ=2$ and, Critical angle, $θ_c⇒\sin θ_c=\frac{1}{μ}$ $⇒\sin θ_c=\frac{1}{2}$ $∴θ_c=30°$ |
