The refractive index of water is 4 / 3 and that of glass is 5/3. What will be the critical angle for the ray of light entering water from the glass

A

`sin^(-1)(3/4)`

B

`sin^(-1)(3/5)`

C

`sin^(-1)(4/5)`

D

Data given is insufficient

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
C

Critical angle
`C=sin^(-1)((mu_(w))/(mu_(g)))`
`=sin^(-1)((4//3)/(5//3))=sin^(-1)(4/5)`
