The angle of a prism made of a material of refractive index \(\sqrt{2}\) is \(90^{\circ}\). The angle of incidence for a light ray on the first face of the prism such that the light ray suffers total internal reflection at the second face is

  1. A \(0^{\circ}\)
  2. B \(90^{\circ}\)
  3. C \(60^{\circ}\)
  4. D \(45^{\circ}\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) \(90^{\circ}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(\sin c = \frac{1}{\mu} = \frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}\) \(c = 45^{\circ}\) \(r_2 = c = 45^{\circ}\) \(r_1 = A - r_2 = 90^{\circ} - 45^{\circ} = 45^{\circ}\) \(1 \cdot \sin i_1 = \mu \sin r_1 = \sqrt{2} \sin 45^{\circ} = \sqrt{2} \cdot \frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}\) \(\sin i_1 = 1\)…
