Question

If the refractive index of water is 4/3 and that of glass is 5/3, then the critical angle of light entering from glass into water will be
  1. sin1(45)
  2. sin1(34)
  3. sin1(12)
  4. sin1(23)

A
sin1(12)
B
sin1(23)
C
sin1(45)
D
sin1(34)
Solution
Verified by Toppr

When a light ray travels from denser to rarer medium, then the angle of incidence for which the refracted ray becomes parallel to the interface(r=90), is known as critical angle for that pair of media.
Here, the denser medium is Glass μg=53
&
the rarer medium is water μw=43
