If `(sini)/(sinr)=n_(21)gt1.` Out of medium 1 and medium 2, which is more optically denser ?

Text Solution

AI Generated Solution

To determine which medium is more optically dense based on the given relationship \((\sin i)/(\sin r) = n_{21} > 1\), we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Understand the relationship The equation \((\sin i)/(\sin r) = n_{21}\) is derived from Snell's Law, which states: \[ n_1 \sin i = n_2 \sin r \] where: ...
