$A$ ray of light propagates from glass (refractive index $= 3/2$) to water (refractive index $= 4/3$). The value of the critical angle is:

  • A
    $\sin^{-1}(1/2)$
  • B
    $\sin^{-1}(\sqrt{8}/9)$
  • C
    $\sin^{-1}(8/9)$
  • D
    $\sin^{-1}(5/7)$

The critical angle of light passing from glass to air is minimum for which color of light?

At the interface between two materials having refractive indices $n_1$ and $n_2$,the critical angle for reflection of an electromagnetic wave is $\theta_{1C}$. The $n_2$ material is replaced by another material having refractive index $n_3$,such that the critical angle at the interface between $n_1$ and $n_3$ materials is $\theta_{2C}$. If $n_3 > n_2 > n_1$,$\frac{n_2}{n_3} = \frac{2}{5}$,and $\sin \theta_{2C} - \sin \theta_{1C} = \frac{1}{2}$,then $\theta_{1C}$ is:

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

With respect to air,the critical angle in a medium for red light of wavelength $\lambda_1$ is $\theta$. Other facts remaining same,the critical angle for yellow light of wavelength $\lambda_2$ will be

The speed of light in media $M_1$ and $M_2$ are $1.5 \times 10^8 \ m/s$ and $2.0 \times 10^8 \ m/s$ respectively. $A$ ray of light enters from medium $M_1$ to $M_2$ at an incidence angle $i$. If the ray suffers total internal reflection,the value of $i$ is
