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=sinc1, where μ is the refractive index of diamond w.r.t liquid
A

Correct option is D)
6Sinθ=3Sin90
⟶θ=45o
So the angle of incidence has to be more than 45∘ for total internal reflection
