If the critical angle for total internl reflection from a medium to vacuum is `30^@`then velocity of light in the medium is:

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

Critical angle `=c=30^(@)`
`m=1/(sinc)=1/(sin30)`
`mu=1/(1//2)=2`
Also `mu=c/v`
`v=c/(mu)`
`v=(3xx10^(8))/2`
`v=1.5xx10^(8)m//s`

Define critical angle for total internal reflection.

If the critical angle for total internal reflection from medium to vacuum is 30^@ , then what is the velocity of light in the medium ?

The value of velocity of light in vacuum is:

A ray o light is incident on the surface of separation of a medium with the velocity of igth at an angle 45^@ and is refracted in the medium at an angle 30^@ .Velocty of light in the medium will be:(Veloctiy of light= 3xx10^8 m s^(-1) ).

State the condition of total internal reflection. Calculate the speed of light in the medium whose critical angle of 45^@ .
