The refractive indices of glass and water are 3/2 and 4/3, respectively. If light passes from glass to water, the critical angle is

  1. A \( \sin^{-1}(8/9) \)
  2. B \( \sin^{-1}(7/8) \)
  3. C \( \sin^{-1}(10/9) \)
  4. D \( \sin^{-1}(9/8) \)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) \( \sin^{-1}(8/9) \)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\( \sin \theta_c = \frac{n_2}{n_1} \) \( \sin \theta_c = \frac{4/3}{3/2} = \frac{4}{3} \times \frac{2}{3} \) \( \sin \theta_c = \frac{8}{9} \) \( \theta_c = \sin^{-1}(8/9) \)
