A light wave travelling linearly in a medium of dielectric constant \(4,\) incident on the horizontal interface separating medium with air. The angle of incidence for which the total intensity of incident wave will be reflected back into the same medium will be (Given : relative permeability of medium \(\mu_{ s }=1)\)
Pick an option to check your answer.
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(D) \(60\)
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
For total internal reflection, i \(>\theta_{ C }\)
\(\Rightarrow \sin i>\sin \theta_{C}\)
\(\Rightarrow \sin i>\frac{\mu_{R}}{\mu_{D}}\)............\((1)\)
Also \(\mu=\sqrt{\mu_{ r } \epsilon_{ T }}\)
\(\frac{\mu_{ R }}{\mu_{ D }}=\frac{\sqrt{1 \times 1}}{\sqrt{4 \times 1}}=\frac{1}{2}\)
From (1), \(\sin i>\frac{1}{2} \Rightarrow i>30^{\circ}, i =60^{\circ}\)
