CBSEENPH12047707

The refractive index of the material of the prism and liquid are 1.56 and 1.32 respectively. What will be the value of 0 for the following refraction?

  • sin θ1311

  • sin θ 1113

  • sin θ 32

  • sin θ12

Solution

B.

sin θ 1113

Using the formula

μprism =μliquidμprism   =1.321.56 =1113Now the condition for total internal reflection, occur when sin θ  μso sin θ 1113
