Critical angle of incidence for a pair of optical media is \(45^{\circ}\). The refractive indices of first and second media are in the ratio _______.
Pick an option to check your answer.
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(A) \(\sqrt{2}: 1\)
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
\(\sin \theta_c=\frac{\mu_R}{\mu_d}=\frac{\mu_2}{\mu_1}\)
\(\sin 45^{\circ}=\frac{\mu_2}{\mu_1}\)
\(\Rightarrow \frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}=\frac{\mu_2}{\mu_1}\)
\(\Rightarrow \frac{\mu_1}{\mu_2}=\frac{\sqrt{2}}{1}\)
