  • question_answer
    The velocities of light in two different mediums are \[2\times {{10}^{8}}m{{s}^{-1}}\] and \[2.5\times {{10}^{8}}m{{s}^{-1}}\] respectively. The critical angle for these mediums is

    A) \[{{\sin }^{-1}}\left( \frac{1}{5} \right)\]                

    B) \[{{\sin }^{-1}}\left( \frac{4}{5} \right)\]

    C) \[{{\sin }^{-1}}\left( \frac{1}{2} \right)\]                

    D) \[{{\sin }^{-1}}\left( \frac{1}{4} \right)\]

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

    Critical angle is given by                 \[\sin C=\mu =\frac{{{v}_{1}}}{{{v}_{2}}}\]                          \[=\frac{2\times {{10}^{8}}}{2.5\times {{10}^{8}}}=\frac{20}{25}=\frac{4}{5}\] or                 \[C={{\sin }^{-1}}\left( \frac{4}{5} \right)\]
