The critical angle for light going from medium ‘x’ to medium ‘y’ is . The speed of light in medium ‘x’ is . The speed of light in medium ‘y’ is
- A
- B
- C
- Correct answerD
Solution
The critical angle is that angle on incidence in the denser medium for which the angle of refraction in rarer medium is
…. (i)
Where, refractive index of medium.
… (ii)
Form Eqs. (i) and (ii), we get
…. (i)
Where, refractive index of medium.
… (ii)
Form Eqs. (i) and (ii), we get
Hence, the correct answer is option: 'D'.
