What is critical angle? Give one application of total internal reflection.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

Critical angle is the angle of incidence in the denser medium for which angle of refraction in rarer medium is `90^(@)`.
Optical fibres are used in the field of communication and the computers for transmitting and receiving electrical signals.

STATEMENT- 1 The critical angle in case of total internal reflection depends on the pair of medium chosen. STATEMENT 2 The critical angle in case of total internal reflection is independent of pair of medium chosen.

In the diagram shown, a ray of light is incident on the interface between 1 and 2 at angle slightly greater than critical angle. The light surfers total internal reflection at this interface. After that the light ray falls at the interface of 1 and 3, and again it suffers total internal reflection. Which of the following relations should hold true?
