NEET Physics Critical Angle MCQ Question

Type: MCQ-numerical-Medium-Class 12

Light travels in two media M₁ and M₂ with speeds 1.5 × 10⁸ m s⁻¹ and 2.0 × 10⁸ m s⁻¹ respectively. The critical angle between them is:

A

tan⁻¹(3/√7)

B

tan⁻¹(2/3)

C

cos⁻¹(3/4)

D

sin⁻¹(2/3)

Correct Answer

Option D

Detailed Explanation

The critical angle is calculated using Snell's law, where sin(critical angle) = n₂/n₁. Here, n₁ and n₂ are the refractive indices corresponding to the speeds in M₁ and M₂.
