NEETPhysicsGeometrical OpticsMCQ+4 / −1
The speed of light in media M1 and M2 are 1.5 ×\times× 108 m/s and 2.0 ×\times× 108 m/s respectively. A ray of light enters from medium M1 to M2 at an incidence angle i. If the rays suffers total internal reflection, the value of i is
  1. A
    Equal to sin−-−1 (23)\left( {{2 \over 3}} \right)(32​)
  2. B
    Equal to or less than sin−-−1(35)\left( {{3 \over 5}} \right)(53​)
  3. C
    Equal to or greater than sin−-−1 (34)\left( {{3 \over 4}} \right)(43​)
  4. D
    Less than sin−-−1(23)\left( {{2 \over 3}} \right)(32​)

Correct answer: C

Refractive index for medium M1 is

μ\mu μ1 = 3×1081.5×108{{3 \times {{10}^8}} \over {1.5 \times {{10}^8}}}1.5×1083×108​ = 2

Refractive index for medium M2 is

μ\mu μ2 = 3×1082.0×108{{3 \times {{10}^8}} \over {2.0 \times {{10}^8}}}2.0×1083×108​ = 32{3 \over 2}23​

For total internal reflection, sini ≥\ge≥ sinC

But sinC = μ2μ1{{{\mu _2}} \over {{\mu _1}}}μ1​μ2​​

sini ≥\ge≥ μ2μ1{{{\mu _2}} \over {{\mu _1}}}μ1​μ2​​ ≥\ge≥ 3/22{{3/2} \over 2}23/2​

⇒\Rightarrow⇒ i ≥\ge≥ sin−-−1 (34)\left( {{3 \over 4}} \right)(43​)
