The critical angle for a denser-rarer interface is \(45^{\circ}\). The speed of light in rarer medium is \(3 \times 10^8\) ms. The speed of light in the denser medium is:
Pick an option to check your answer.
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(B) \(2.12 \times 10^8\,m / s\)
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
\(i _{ C }=\) Critical angle
\(\frac{v}{C}=\frac{1}{\mu}=\sin i_C=\sin 45^{\circ}=\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}\)
\(\Rightarrow v=\frac{ C }{\sqrt{2}}=\frac{3 \times 10^8}{\sqrt{2}}\,m / s =2.12 \times 10^8\,m / s\)
