Wavelength of given light waves in air a...

Wavelength of given light waves in air and in a medium are 6000 Å and 3000 Å, respectively. The critical angle is

A

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

B

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

C

`sin^(-1)(2)`

D

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

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
C

(c ) We have, `1/SinC=lamda_(1)/lamda_(2)`
`rArr 1/sinC=6000/3000`
`rArr1/sinC=6/3=2`
`rArrsinC=1/2`
`rArr` Criticle angle between two medium, `C=sin^(-1)(1/2)`
