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

  • question_answer
    For total internal reflection to take place, the angle of incidence i and the refractive index \[\mu \] of the medium must satisfy the inequality                                                 [MP PET 1994]

    A)            \[\frac{1}{\sin i}<\mu \]  

    B)            \[\frac{1}{\sin i}>\mu \]

    C)            \[\sin i<\mu \]                     

    D)            \[\sin i>\mu \]

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

                       For total internal reflection i > C            \[\Rightarrow \sin i>\sin C\Rightarrow \sin i>\frac{1}{\mu }\Rightarrow \frac{1}{\sin i}<\mu .\]
