For light incident from air onto a slab of refractive index 2. Maximum possible angle of refraction is,

A

`30^(@)`

B

`45^(@)`

C

`60^(@)`

D

`90^(@)`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
C

From Snell.s law, `mu = (sin I)/(sin r)`
Now consider an angle of incident is `90^(@)`
`sir r = (sin 90^(@))/(2)`
`r = sin^(-1) (0.5)`
`r = 30^(@)`
