the speed of light in a certain medium is 0.6c. find critical angle , if the index of refraction is 1.67​

Respuesta :

Answer:

[tex]\theta_c = 36.78^o[/tex]

Explanation:

The relationship between the refractive index and the critical angle is given as follows:

[tex]\eta = \frac{1}{Sin\ \theta_c} \\\\Sin\ \theta_c = \frac{1}{\eta}\\\\\theta_c = Sin^{-1}(\frac{1}{\eta} )[/tex]

where,

η = refractive index = 1.67

θc = critical angle =?

Therefore,

[tex]\theta_c = Sin^{-1}(\frac{1}{1.67} )[/tex]

[tex]\theta_c = 36.78^o[/tex]
