Material A has critical angle
and material B has critical angle
Then which of the following is true
(i) Light can be totally internally reflected when it passes from B to A
(ii) Light can be totally internally reflected when it passes from A to B
(iii) Critical angle for total internal reflection is 
(iv) Critical angle between A and B is 
Text Solution
Verified by ExpertsThe correct answer is:
D
We know 
Given critical angle 
So
i.e. B is rarer and A is denser.
Hence light can be totally internally reflected when it passes from A to B
Now critical angle for A to B
