Question

Assertion :The refractive index of diamond is 6 an that of a liquid is 3. If light travels from diamond to the liquid, it will be totally reflected when the angle of incidence is 30 Reason: μ=1sinc, where μ is the refractive index of diamond w.r.t liquid
  1. Both Assertion and Reason are correct and Reason is the correct explanation for Assertion
  2. Both Assertion and Reason are correct but Reason is not the correct explanation for Assertion
  3. Assertion is correct but Reason is incorrect
  4. Assertion is incorrect but Reason are correct

A
Assertion is incorrect but Reason are correct
B
Both Assertion and Reason are correct and Reason is the correct explanation for Assertion
C
Assertion is correct but Reason is incorrect
D
Both Assertion and Reason are correct but Reason is not the correct explanation for Assertion
Solution
Verified by Toppr

6Sinθ=3Sin90

θ=45o

So the angle of incidence has to be more than 45 for total internal reflection
The assertion is wrong. The reason is correct
