With respect to air, the critical angle in a medium for red light of wave length \(\lambda_1\) is \(\theta\). Other facts remaining same, critical angle for yellow light of wave length \(\lambda_2\) will be

  1. A \(\theta\)
  2. B more than \(\theta\)
  3. C less than \(\theta\)
  4. D \(\frac{\theta \lambda_1}{\lambda_2}\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) less than \(\theta\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Critical angle \(=\sin ^{-1}\left(\frac{1}{\mathrm{n}}\right)=\sin ^{-1}\left(\frac{\mathrm{v}}{\mathrm{c}}\right)\) Critical angle \(=\sin ^{-1}\left(\frac{\mathrm{f} \lambda}{\mathrm{c}}\right) \quad\left(\because \mathrm{v}=\frac{\mathrm{c}}{\mathrm{n}}\right)\) for red…
