Text Solution

AI Generated Solution

To calculate the speed of light in a medium whose critical angle is given as \(30^\circ\), we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Understand the relationship between refractive index and critical angle The refractive index (\(\mu\)) of a medium can be related to the critical angle (\(C\)) using the formula: \[ \mu = \frac{1}{\sin C} \] ...
