$A$ ray of light enters from a rarer to a denser medium. The angle of incidence is $i$. Then the reflected and refracted rays are mutually perpendicular to each other. The critical angle for the pair of media is

  • A
    $\sin ^{-1}(\tan i)$
  • B
    $\tan ^{-1}(\sin i)$
  • C
    $\sin ^{-1}(\cot i)$
  • D
    $\cos ^{-1}(\tan i)$

$A$ ray of light refracts from medium $1$ into a thin layer of medium $2$, crosses the layer, and is incident at the critical angle on the interface between medium $2$ and $3$ as shown in the figure. If the angle of incidence of the ray is $\theta$, the value of $\theta$ is

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 be totally internally reflected when the angle of incidence is $30^{\circ}$.
Reason: $\mu = \frac{1}{\sin C}$,where $\mu$ is the refractive index of diamond with respect to the liquid.
