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

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

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

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

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

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