Light travels a distance '$x$' in time '$t_0$' in air and '$4x$' in time '$t_1$' in another denser medium. The critical angle for this medium is

  • A
    $\sin^{-1} (\frac{t_1}{4t_0})$
  • B
    $\sin^{-1} (\frac{4t_0}{t_1})$
  • C
    $\sin^{-1} (\frac{4t_1}{t_0})$
  • D
    $\sin^{-1} (\frac{t_0}{4t_1})$

$A$ small coin is resting on the bottom of a beaker filled with liquid. $A$ ray of light from the coin travels up to the surface of the liquid and moves along its surface. How fast is the light travelling in the liquid?

$A$ planar structure of length $L$ and width $W$ is made of two different optical media of refractive indices $n_1=1.5$ and $n_2=1.44$ as shown in the figure. If $L \gg W$,a ray entering from end $AB$ will emerge from end $CD$ only if the total internal reflection condition is met inside the structure. For $L = 9.6 \ m$,if the incident angle $\theta$ is varied,the maximum time taken by a ray to exit the plane $CD$ is $t \times 10^{-9} \ s$,where $t$ is. . . . . . .
