If the value of the refractive index of a denser medium with respect to the rarer medium is 1.414, then the critical angle is:

  1. A \( 30^{\circ} \)
  2. B \( 45^{\circ} \)
  3. C \( 60^{\circ} \)
  4. D \( 75^{\circ} \)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

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

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\( \sin(\theta_c) = \frac{1}{n} \) \( \sin(\theta_c) = \frac{1}{1.414} \) \( \sin(\theta_c) \approx \frac{1}{\sqrt{2}} \) \( \theta_c = 45^{\circ} \)
