Calculate the speed of light in a medium whose critical angle is `30^@`.

Text Solution

AI Generated Solution

To calculate the speed of light in a medium whose critical angle is given as \(30^\circ\), we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Understand the relationship between critical angle and refractive index The critical angle (\(C\)) is related to the refractive index (\(\mu\)) of the medium by the formula: \[ \sin C = \frac{1}{\mu} \] where \(C\) is the critical angle. ...
