The critical angle of a medium for a specific wavelength, if the medium has relative permittivity 3 and relative permeability \( \frac{4}{3} \) for this wavelength, will be :

  1. A \( 15^\circ \)
  2. B \( 30^\circ \)
  3. C \( 45^\circ \)
  4. D \( 60^\circ \)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) \( 30^\circ \)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\( n = \sqrt{\epsilon_r \mu_r} \) \( n = \sqrt{3 \times \frac{4}{3}} = 2 \) \( \sin(\theta_c) = \frac{1}{n} \) \( \sin(\theta_c) = \frac{1}{2} \) \( \theta_c = 30^\circ \)
