  1. A glass to air
  2. B glass to water
  3. C water to air
  4. D diamond to air
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) glass to water

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

The critical angle between two media is given by \(i_{c}=\sin ^{-1}\left(\frac{\mu_{1}}{\mu_{2}}\right)\) As we know that, \(\mu_{\text {air }}=1, \mu_{\text {water }}=1.33, \mu_{\text {glass }}=1.5\) and \(\mu_{\text {diamond }}=2.4\). From given values,…
