Total Internal Reflection

The critical angle of a medium for a specific wavelength, if the medium has relative permittivity 3 and relative permeability 43\frac{4}{3} for this wavelength, will be:

Show answer and solution

Answer: (c)

  1. n=εrμr=3×43=2n = \sqrt{\varepsilon_r \mu_r} = \sqrt{3\times\frac{4}{3}} = 2.
  2. sin⁡C=1n=12⇒C=30∘\sin C = \frac{1}{n} = \frac{1}{2} \Rightarrow C = 30^\circ.
  3. So the answer is (c) 30∘30^\circ.
