The correct Answer is:
To fill in the blanks for the question regarding the critical angle, we will follow these steps: 1. **Understanding the Definition**: The critical angle is defined as the angle of incidence in a denser medium that results in an angle of refraction of 90 degrees in a rarer medium. 2. **Identifying the Terms**: - The first blank refers to the angle of incidence in the denser medium. - The second blank refers to the angle of refraction in the rarer medium. - The third blank refers to the specific angle that the second blank equals, which is 90 degrees. 3. **Filling in the Blanks**: - The first blank: "incidence" - The second blank: "refraction" - The third blank: "90 degrees" Putting it all together, we get: - Critical angle is the angle of **incidence** in denser medium for which the angle of **refraction** in rarer medium is **90 degrees**. ### Final Answer: Critical angle is the angle of **incidence** in denser medium for which the angle of **refraction** in rarer medium is **90 degrees**. ---
