[NCERT 1975; RPMT 1999; MP PMT 2002]

Options:

A) Red

B) Green

C) Yellow

D) Violet

Show Answer

Answer:

Correct Answer: D

Solution:

$ _{a}{\mu _{g}}=\frac{1}{\sin C}\Rightarrow \sin C=\frac{1}{ _{a}{\mu _{g}}} $

As $ \mu $ for violet colour is maximum, so sin C is minimum and hence critical angle $ C $ is minimum for voilet colour.
