If light travels a distance `x` in `t_(1)` sec in air and `10x` distance in `t_(2)` sec in a medium, the critical angle of the medium will be

A

24 cm

B

10 cm

C

15 cm

D

120 cm

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
C

(c ) From the formula, sin C`=1/(""_(1)mu_(2))`
`rArrsinC=""_(2)mu_(2)`
`mu_(1)/mu_(2)=v_(2)/v_(1)`
`rArrsin C=(10x//t_(1))/(x//t_(1))`
`sinC=(10t_(1))/t_(2)`
`C=sin^(-1)((10t_(1))/t_(2))`
