MCQ
At the interface between two materials having refractive indices $n_{1}$ and $n_{2}$, the critical angle for reflection of an em wave is $\theta_{1 C}$. The $n_{2}$ material is replaced by another material having refractive index $n_{3}$, such that the critical angle at the interface between $n_{1}$ and $n_{3}$ materials is $\theta_{2 C}$. If $n_{3}>n_{2}>n_{1}$; $\frac{\mathrm{n}_{2}}{\mathrm{n}_{3}}=\frac{2}{5}$ and $\sin \theta_{2 \mathrm{C}}-\sin \theta_{1 \mathrm{C}}=\frac{1}{2}$, then $\theta_{1 \mathrm{C}}$ is
  • A
    $\sin ^{-1}\left(\frac{1}{6 n_{1}}\right)$
  • B
    $\sin ^{-1}\left(\frac{2}{3 n_{1}}\right)$
  • C
    $\sin ^{-1}\left(\frac{5}{6 n_{1}}\right)$
  • $\sin ^{-1}\left(\frac{1}{3 \mathrm{n}_{1}}\right)$

Answer

Correct option: D.
$\sin ^{-1}\left(\frac{1}{3 \mathrm{n}_{1}}\right)$
(D)
Sol.
$\sin \theta_{1 \mathrm{C}}=\frac{\mathrm{n}_{1}}{\mathrm{n}_{2}}$
$\sin \theta_{2 C}=\frac{n_{1}}{n_{3}}$
$\sin \theta_{2 \mathrm{C}}-\sin \theta_{1 \mathrm{C}}=\frac{1}{2}$
$\mathrm{n}_{1} \frac{\mathrm{n}_{2}}{\mathrm{n}_{3}}-\frac{\mathrm{n}_{1}}{\mathrm{n}_{2}}=\frac{1}{2}$
$\mathrm{n}_{1} \frac{\mathrm{n}_{2}}{\mathrm{n}_{3}}-\mathrm{n}_{1}=\frac{\mathrm{n}_{2}}{2}$
$\mathrm{n}_{1}\left(\frac{2}{5}-1\right)=\frac{\mathrm{n}_{2}}{2}$
$\frac{\mathrm{n}_{1}}{\mathrm{n}_{2}}=\frac{-5}{6}$
$=\sin ^{-1}\left(-\frac{5}{6}\right)$
