If the critical angle for total internal reflection from a medium to vacuum is `30^(@)`, the velocity of light in the medium is

A

`3xx10^(8)` m/s

B

`1.5xx10^(8)` m/s

C

`6xx10^(8)` m/s

D

`sqrt(3)xx10^(8)` m/s

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
B

`sinC=(1)/(mu)=(v)/(c)`
or `v=csinC=3xx10^(8)sin30^(@)=1.5xx10^(8)` m/s
