JEE Main & Advanced Physics Ray Optics Question Bank Total Internal Reflection

  • question_answer
    If the critical angle for total internal reflection from a medium to vacuum is \[30{}^\circ \], the velocity of light in the medium is                          [CPMT 1972; MH CET 2000;  KCET 2000; BCECE 2003; RPMT 2003]

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

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

    C) \[6\times {{10}^{8}}\] m/s     

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

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

    \[\mu =\frac{1}{\sin C}=\frac{1}{\sin 30}=2\]            \[\therefore v=\frac{3\times {{10}^{8}}}{2}=1.5\times {{10}^{8}}m/s\]
