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