    Relation between critical angles of water and glass is :

    A) \[{{C}_{\omega }}<{{C}_{g}}=0\]              

    B) \[{{C}_{\omega }}={{C}_{g}}\]

    C) \[{{C}_{\omega }}<{{C}_{g}}\]                                   

    D) \[{{C}_{\omega }}>{{C}_{g}}\]

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

                    As refractive index of water \[{{\mu }_{\omega }}=1.33\] and refractive index of glass \[{{\mu }_{g}}=1.5\] The relation for critical angle of water                     \[\sin {{C}_{\omega }}=\frac{1}{{{\mu }_{\omega }}}=\frac{1}{1.33}=0.75\] or            \[{{C}_{\omega }}={{\sin }^{-1}}0.75\]                 \[{{C}_{\omega }}={{48.6}^{o}}\]                        ?..(1) Similarly sin  \[{{C}_{g}}=\frac{1}{{{\mu }_{g}}}=0.67\] or            \[{{C}_{g}}={{\sin }^{-1}}0.67={{42.06}^{o}}\]  ??.(2) Hence, It is quite lear from eq (1) and (2) \[{{C}_{\omega }}>{{C}_{g}}\]
