Two transparent media A and B are separated by a plane boundary. The speed of light in those media are 1.5×1081.5 \times {10^8} m/s and 2.0×1082.0 \times {10^8} m/s, respectively. The critical angle for a ray of light for these two media is:
View answer and explanation
Correct option: C
sin⁡−1 (0.750){\sin ^{ - 1}}\,\left( {0.750} \right)
The correct answer is C. The critical angle is calculated using the ratio of the speeds of light in the two media, specifically using the formula sin⁡ic=vRvD\sin i_c = \frac{{v_R}}{{v_D}} where vRv_R is the speed in the rarer medium and vDv_D is the speed in the denser medium.

You are given four sources of light each one providing a light of a single colour, blue, green and yellow. Suppose the angle of refraction for a beam of yellow light corresponding to a particular angle of incidence at the interface of two media is 90∘90^{\circ}. Which of the following statement is correct if the source of yellow light is replaced with that of other lights without changing the angle of incidence?
