                 The refractive index of the material of the prism and liquid are 1.56 and 1.32 respectively. What will be the value of \[\theta \]for the following refraction?

    A)  \[\sin \,\theta \,\ge \frac{13}{11}\]  

    B)                        \[\sin \,\theta \,\ge \frac{11}{13}\]        

    C)         \[\sin \,\theta \,\ge \frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}\]       

    D)         \[\sin \,\theta \,\ge \frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}\]

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

    Using the formula \[{{\mu }_{prism}}=\frac{{{\mu }_{liquid}}}{{{\mu }_{prism}}}=\frac{1.32}{1.56}=\frac{11}{13}\] ?(1) Now the condition for total internal reflection, occur when \[\sin \theta \ge \mu \] So,          \[\sin \theta \ge \frac{11}{13}\]
