A ray is incident from a medium of refractive index 2 into a medium of refractive index 1. The critical angle is

  1. A 30°
  2. B 60°
  3. C 45°
  4. D 90°
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) 30°

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Critical angle is defined as the angle of incidence, when light is travelling from denser medium to rarer medium, at which the angle of refraction is 90°. Therefore, ic=sin-1μ2μ1=sin-112=30°
