The refractive indices of glycerine and ...

The refractive indices of glycerine and water are `1.46` and `1.33` repectively. What is the critical angle when the ray passes from glycerine to water ?

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
`65^(@).38'`

`.^(omega)mu_(g) = (1.46)/(1.33) = (1)/(sin C)` , calculate `C`.
