If light travels a distance $x$ in time $t_1$ sec in air and $10x$ distance in time $t_2$ sec in a certain medium,then find the critical angle of the medium.

  • A
    $\sin ^{-1}\left(\frac{20 t_1}{t_2}\right)$
  • B
    $\sin ^{-1}\left(\frac{10 t_1}{t_2}\right)$
  • C
    $\sin ^{-1}\left(\frac{t_1}{t_2}\right)$
  • D
    $\sin ^{-1}\left(\frac{t_2}{10 t_1}\right)$

Assertion: The maximum refractive index of the liquid for total internal reflection of the ray passing through the prism as shown in the figure must be $\sqrt 2$.
Reason: Here,the critical angle is $45^o$.

The critical angle for total internal reflection of light going from medium $I$ to medium $II$ is given by the relation $\tan i_C = \frac{5}{9}$. The refractive index of medium $I$ with respect to medium $II$ is:

The figure shows a mixture of blue,green,and red colored rays incident normally on a right-angled prism. The critical angles of the material of the prism for red,green,and blue are $46^{\circ}$,$44^{\circ}$,and $43^{\circ}$ respectively. The arrangement will separate:
