JEE Main & Advanced Physics Ray Optics Question Bank Total Internal Reflection

  • question_answer
    A ray of light propagates from glass (refractive index = 3/2) to water (refractive index = 4/3).  The value of the critical angle                                       [JIPMER 1999; UPSEAT 2001; MP PMT 2000, 03]

    A)            sin?1(1/2)                               

    B)            \[{{\sin }^{-1}}\left( \frac{\sqrt{8}}{9} \right)\]

    C)            \[{{\sin }^{-1}}(8/9)\]       

    D)            \[{{\sin }^{-1}}(5/7)\]

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

               \[C={{\sin }^{-1}}\left( \frac{1}{_{w}{{\mu }_{g}}} \right)={{\sin }^{-1}}\left( \frac{{{\mu }_{w}}}{{{\mu }_{g}}} \right)={{\sin }^{-1}}\left( \frac{8}{9} \right)\]
