    A glass prism of refractive index 1.5 is immersed in water (refractive index \[\frac{4}{3}\]) as shown in figure. A light beam incident normally on the face AB is totally reflected to reach the face BC, if     JEE Main  Online Paper (Held On 19  May  2012)

    A) \[\sin \theta >\frac{5}{9}\]                         

    B)                        \[\sin \theta >\frac{2}{3}\]

    C)                        \[\sin \theta >\frac{8}{9}\]         

    D)                        \[\sin \theta >\frac{1}{3}\]

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

                    For total internal reflection on face AC \[\theta >\] critical angle (C) and \[\sin \theta \ge \sin C\] \[\sin \theta \ge \frac{1}{{{w}_{{{\mu }_{g}}}}}\]              \[\sin \theta \ge \frac{{{\mu }_{w}}}{{{\mu }_{g}}}\Rightarrow \sin \theta \ge \frac{\frac{4}{3}}{\frac{3}{2}}\] \[\therefore \]\[\sin \theta \ge \frac{8}{9}.\]
