  • question_answer
    The refractive indices of water and glass slab are 4/3 and 5/3 respectively, then critical angle of light entering from glass into water is:

    A) \[{{\sin }^{-1}}\frac{4}{5}\]                         

    B)        \[{{\sin }^{-1}}\frac{5}{4}\]                         

    C)        \[{{\sin }^{-1}}\frac{1}{2}\]                                         

    D)        \[{{\sin }^{-1}}\frac{2}{1}\]

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

    Refracting index of water with respect to glass \[_{g}{{n}_{\omega }}=\frac{_{a}{{n}_{g}}}{_{a}{{n}_{\omega }}}=\frac{5}{3}\times \frac{3}{4}=\frac{5}{4}\] Critical angle \[C={{\sin }^{-1}}\frac{5}{4}\]
