Wavelength of given light waves in air and in a medium are 6000 Å and 4000 Å respectively the critical angle is

A

`tan^(-1)((2)/(3))`

B

`tan^(-1)((3)/(2))`

C

`Sin^(-1)((2)/(3))`

D

`sin^(-1)((3)/(2))`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
C

Here `lambda_(air)`=6000Å ,`lambda_("medium")`=4000 Å
Let C be the critical angle.
`therefore sinC(1)/(air_(mu_(medium)))medium_(muair) =(mu_(air))/(mu_(medium))`
`SinC=(2)/(3)impliesCsin^(-1)((2)/(3))`
