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

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

    B) \[2\times {{10}^{8}}m/s\]

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

    D) \[5\times {{10}^{8}}m/s\]

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

                    Here : critical angle \[={{30}^{o}}\] From the law of total internal reflection, velocity of light in medium                 \[\frac{c}{\upsilon }=\frac{1}{\sin \,C}\]                 \[\upsilon =c\times \sin {{30}^{o}}=c\times 0.5\] \[=0.5\times 3\times {{10}^{8}}\] \[=1.5\times {{10}^{8}}m/s\]
