Light travels in two media A and B with ...

Light travels in two media A and B with speeds `1.8 × 10^(8) m s^(–1) and2.4 × 10^(8) m s^(–1)` respectively. Then the critical angle between them is

A

`sin^(-1)((2)/(3))`

B

`tan^(-1)((3)/(4))`

C

`tan^(-1)((2)/(3))`

D

`sin^(-1)((3)/(4))`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

We have,
`C=sin^(-1)((v_(1))/(v_(2)))=sin^(-1)((1.8xx10^(8))/(2.4xx10^(8)))=sin^(-1)((3)/(4))`
