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

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

    B)  \[3\times {{10}^{8}}m/s\]

    C)  \[0.75\text{ }m/s\]

    D)  \[6\times {{10}^{8}}m/s\]

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

     Critical angle \[C=30{}^\circ \] (given) From the law of total internal reflection we have \[\sin C=\frac{\upsilon }{c}\] \[\sin {{30}^{o}}=\frac{\upsilon }{c}\] \[0.5=\frac{\upsilon }{3\times {{10}^{8}}}\] \[\upsilon =0.5\times 3\times {{10}^{8}}=1.5\times {{10}^{8}}m/s\]
