A light ray is incident from a medium of refractive index 2 into a medium of refractive index \(\sqrt{3}\). The critical angle is

  1. A \(30^{\circ}\)
  2. B \(45^{\circ}\)
  3. C \(60^{\circ}\)
  4. D \(90^{\circ}\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) \(60^{\circ}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Given, absolute refractive index of medium-1 and 2 are given as \[ \mu_1=2 \text { and } \mu_2=\sqrt{3} \] \(\therefore\) Let \(i_c\) be the critical angle, then \(\sin i_c=\frac{1}{2 \mu_1}\)…
