The angle of polarisation for a medium with respect to air is $60^{\circ}$. The critical angle of this medium with respect to air is
- $\sin ^{-1} \sqrt{3}$
- $\tan ^{-1} \sqrt{3}$
- $\cos ^{-1} \sqrt{3}$
- $\sin ^{-1} \frac{1}{\sqrt{3}}$
Solution
Angle of polarisation, $\mathrm{i}_{\mathrm{p}}=60^{\circ}$
$\therefore \quad \mu=\tan \mathrm{i}_{\mathrm{p}}=\tan 60^{\circ}=\sqrt{3}$
$\therefore \quad$ Critical angle, $C=\sin ^{-1}\left(\frac{1}{\mu}\right)=\sin ^{-1}\left(\frac{1}{\sqrt{3}}\right)$
