Question:

Critical angle of glass is θ1 and that of water is θ2. What is the critical angle for water and glass surface ? (μg = 3/2, μw = 4/3).

Options:

less than θ2

between θ1 and θ2

greater than θ2

less than θ1

Correct Answer:

greater than θ2

Explanation:

Find refractive index for water and glass interface then refractive index equals the inverse of sine of critical angle.
