STATEMENT-`1`The critical angle in case of total internal reflection depends on the pair of medium chosen.
`STATEMENT 2`The critical angle in case of total internal reflection is independent of pair of medium chosen.

A

STATEMENT -`1`is true statement `2` is true,Statement -`2`is a correct explanation for statement -`1`

B

STATEMENT -`1`is true statement `2` is true,Statement -`2`is a not a correct explanation for statement -`1`

C

Statement -`1`is true,Statement -`2`is False

D

Statement -`1`is False ,Statement -`2`is True

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
C
`theta_(C)=sin-1(1//mu)` and is taken relative, hence it depends on pair of medium chosen.
