Physics Question on Refraction of Light
Two transparent media. A and B are separated by a plane boundary. The speed of light in those media are 1.5 × 108 m/s and 2.0 × 108 m/s, respectively. The critical angle for a ray of light for these two media is:
A
sin-1(0.5000)
B
sin-1(0.750)
C
tan-1(0.500)
D
tan-1(0.750)
Answer
sin-1(0.750)
Explanation
Solution
The correct answer is (B): sin-1(0.750)
