Question
A glass prism of refractive index 1.5 is immersed in water (refractive index 4/3). Light beam incident normally on the face AB is totally reflected to reach the face BC if
Options
A.sin θ > 8/9
B.2/3 < sin θ > 8/9
C.sin θ > 2/3
D.none of these
Solution
Let θc be the critical angle at face BC, then
sin θc =
Angle of incidence at athe face BC is i = θ
Total internal reflection (TIR) will take place on this surface if
i > θc
or θ > θc
or sin θ > sin θ
or sin θ >
∴ Correct option is (a).
