Optics Question 445

Question: Critical angle of glass is θ1 and that of water is θ2 . The critical angle for water and glass surface would be (μg=3/2,μw=4/3)

Options:

A) Less than θ2

B) Between θ1 and θ2

C) Greater than θ2

D) Less than θ1

Show Answer

Answer:

Correct Answer: C

Solution:

[c] sinθ1=1μg

and sinθ2=1μw

Since μg>μw,θ1<θ2

Critical angle θ between glass and water will be given by sinθ=μwμg Or θ>θ2
