A glass prism of refractive index `1.5` is immersed in water (refractive index 4/3). A light beam incident normally on the face `AB` is totally reflected to reach the face `BC`, Fig. if :
.

A

`sin C = 8//9`

B

`sin C = 9//8`

C

`sin C = 2//3`

D

`sin C = 3//2`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
A

`(mu_(2))/(mu_(1)) = (1)/(sinC), (1.5)/(4//3) = (1)/(sin C) or sin C = (8)/(9)`
