Assertion : The refractive index of di...

Assertion : The refractive index of diamond is `sqrt(6)` and that of liquid is `sqrt(3)` . If the light travels from diamond to the liquid, it will totally reflected when the angle of incidence is `30^(@)`.
Reason : `mu=1/(sin C)`, where `mu` is the refractive index of diamond with respect to liquid.

A

If both assertion and reason are true and the reason is the correct explanation of the assertion.

B

If both assertion and reason are true but reason is not the correct explanation of the assertion.

C

If assertion is true but reason is false.

D

If the assertion and reason both are false.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
D

For total internal reflection the angle of incidence should be greater than the critical angle. As critical angle is `35^(@)` . Therefore, total internal reflection is not possible. So, assertion is not true but reason is true.
