A ray of light travelling in a transparant medium falls on a surface separating the medium from air at an angle of incidence of `45degree`. The ray undergoes total internal reflection. If n is the refractive in index of the medium with respect to air, select the possible value (s) of n from the following:

A

`mu=1.33`

B

`mu=1.40`

C

`mu=1.50`

D

`mu=1.25`

Text Solution

The correct Answer is:
C

For total internal reflection
`igtc`
`impliessinigtsincimpliessin45^(@)gt(1)/(mu)`
`implies mugtsqrt(2)impliesmugt1.4`
