If the refractive index of glass is 1.5, what is the critical angle at the air-glass interface?
  • A.
    sin-1(frac{1}{2})
  • B.
    sin-1(frac{2}{3})
  • C.
    sin-1(frac{3}{4})
  • D.
    sin-1(frac{8}{9})
Correct Answer: Option B
Explanation

sin ic (frac{1}{n}) = (frac{1}{1 – 5})
i = sin-1(frac{1}{1 – 5})
= sin-1(frac{10}{15})
= sin-1(frac{2}{3})
