A ray of light travels from a medium of refractive index 2 to another medium of refractive index \(\sqrt{2}\). Total internal reflection takes place when the angle of incidence is

  1. A \(30^{\circ}\)
  2. B \(45^{\circ}\)
  3. C \(60^{\circ}\)
  4. D \(80^{\circ}\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) \(45^{\circ}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Refractive index of first medium, \(\mu_1=2\) Refractive index of second medium, \(\mu_2=\sqrt{2}\) If \(i_C\) be the angle of incidence in the case of total internal reflection, then…
