A ray of light strikes a cubical slab surrounded by air as shown in the figure. Then the geometrical path length traversed by the light in the slab will be:

A

`2sqrt(3)`m

B

2m

C

6m

D

`((sqrt(3))/(2) + (3)/(2))`m

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
C

Critical angle `(3)/(2)` sin c =1 , sin c = `(2)/(3)`
Geometrical path length travelled by the light in the slab will be = `2+1+2 +1 = 6`m
