    If the critical angle for total internal reflection from a medium to vacuum is\[30{}^\circ \]. Then the velocity of light in the medium will be:

    A)  \[3\times {{10}^{8}}m/s\]       

    B)  \[2\times {{10}^{8}}m/s\]

    C)  \[1.5\times {{10}^{8}}m/s\]     

    D)  \[6\times {{10}^{8}}m/s\]

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

     Here: Critical angle\[C=30{}^\circ \] Now, from the law of total internal reflection, we have \[\sin C=\frac{\upsilon }{c}\] Or \[\sin 30{}^\circ =\frac{\upsilon }{3\times {{10}^{8}}}\] \[\upsilon =\frac{1}{2}\times 3\times {{10}^{8}}\] \[=1.5\times {{10}^{8}}m/s\]
