The critical angle for light traveling from medium $(i)$ to medium $(ii)$ is $\theta$. If the speed of light in medium $(i)$ is $v$,then the speed of light in medium $(ii)$ is:

  • A
    $v(1 - \cos \theta)$
  • B
    $v/\sin \theta$
  • C
    $v/\cos \theta$
  • D
    $v(1 - \sin \theta)$

On the hypotenuse of a right-angled prism $(30^{\circ}-60^{\circ}-90^{\circ})$ with a refractive index of $1.50$,a drop of liquid is placed as shown in the figure. Light is allowed to fall normally on the short face of the prism. In order for the ray of light to undergo total internal reflection at the hypotenuse,what is the maximum value of the refractive index of the liquid?

What will be the minimum angle of incidence $i$ such that total internal reflection takes place at both interfaces (in $^{\circ}$)? (Given: $\mu_1 = \sqrt{2}, \mu_2 = 2, \mu_3 = \sqrt{3}$)

If the critical angle for total internal reflection from a medium to vacuum is $45^{\circ}$,then the velocity of light in the medium is,

The refractive indices of the material of the prism and the liquid are $1.56$ and $1.32$ respectively. Find the value of $\theta$ for total internal reflection at the interface.
