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 \(\mu_{ s }=1)\) 

  1. A \(10\)
  2. B \(20\)
  3. C \(30\)
  4. D \(60\)
Verified Solution

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 \(\mu=\sqrt{\mu_{ r } \epsilon_{ T }}\)…
