Total Internal Reflection
The speed of light in media M1 and M2 are 1.5 108 m/s and 2.0 108 m/s respectively. A ray of light enters from medium M1 to M2 at an incidence angle i. If the ray suffers total internal reflection, the value of i is
Show answer and solution
Answer: (c)
- , so .
- TIR (total reflection) needs (at the ray just grazes).
- So the answer is (c) .
