At the interface between two materials having refractive indices \(n_1\) and \(n_2\), the critical angle for reflection of an em wave is \(\theta_{1 C}\). The \(n_2\) material is replaced by another material having refractive index \(n_3\) such that the critical angle at the interface between \(n_1\) and \(n_3\) materials is \(\theta_{2 \mathrm{C}}\). If \(\mathrm{n}_3\gt\mathrm{n}_2\gt\mathrm{n}_1 ; \frac{\mathrm{n}_2}{\mathrm{n}_3}=\frac{2}{5}\) and \(\sin \theta_{2 \mathrm{C}}-\sin \theta_{1 \mathrm{C}}=\frac{1}{2}\), then \(\theta_{1 \mathrm{C}}\) is :
- A \(\sin ^{-1}\left(\frac{1}{6}\right)\)
- B \(\sin ^{-1}\left(\frac{1}{3}\right)\)
- C \(\sin ^{-1}\left(\frac{-5}{6}\right)\)
- D \(\sin ^{-1}\left(\frac{2}{3}\right)\)
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(C) \(\sin ^{-1}\left(\frac{-5}{6}\right)\)
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
\(\begin{aligned} & \sin \theta_{1 C}=\frac{n_1}{n_2} \\ & \sin \theta_{2 C}=\frac{n_1}{n_3} \\ & \sin \theta_{2 C}-\sin \theta_{1 C}=\frac{1}{2}\end{aligned}\)…
