In the given figure, the face \(AC\) of the equilateral prism is immersed in a liquid of refractive index ' \(n\) '. For incident angle \(60^{\circ}\) at the side \(AC\), the refracted light beam just grazes along face \(AC\). The refractive index of the liquid \(n =\frac{\sqrt{ x }}{4}\). The value of \(x...\) is (Given refractive index of glass \(=1.5\) )

Pick an option to check your answer.
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) \(27\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Using snell's law at face \(AC\)

\(1.5 \sin 60^{\circ}=n \times \sin 90^{\circ}\)

\(1.5 \times \frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}=n=\frac{\sqrt{x}}{4}\)

\(3 \sqrt{3}=\sqrt{x}\)

\(x =27\)
