If sound travelling at `340ms^(-1)` enters water where its speed becomes `1480 ms^(-1)` , then critical angle for total internal reflection is

A

`13.3^(@)`

B

`89.7^(@)`

C

`86.7^(@)`

D

`10.3^(@)`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
A

We have ,
`sinC=(1)/(mu)`
But `mu=(v_2)/(v_1)=(1480)/(340)`
`therefore sin C=(340)/(1480)`
or `C=sin^(-1)((340)/(1480))=13.28^(@)prop 13.3^(@)`.
