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

The correct Answer is:
D
(d) We have,
`C=sin^(-1)(v_(1)/v_(2))=sin^(-1)(3/4)`
