Two transparent media $A$ and $B$ are separated by a plane boundary. The speed of light in those media are $1.5 \times 10^{8} \ m/s$ and $2.0 \times 10^{8} \ m/s$,respectively. The critical angle for a ray of light for these two media is:

  • A
    $\sin^{-1}(0.750)$
  • B
    $\tan^{-1}(0.500)$
  • C
    $\tan^{-1}(0.750)$
  • D
    $\sin^{-1}(0.500)$

$A$ ray of light refracts from medium $1$ into a thin layer of medium $2$, crosses the layer, and is incident at the critical angle on the interface between medium $2$ and $3$ as shown in the figure. If the angle of incidence of the ray is $\theta$, the value of $\theta$ is

$A$ beam of light strikes a glass plate at an angle of incidence $60^{\circ}$ and the reflected light is completely polarized. The refractive index of the plate is:

The figure shows a transparent block of side lengths $a$ and $a$. The third dimension of the block is negligible. $A$ point source $S$,which can emit light in all directions,can move inside the block. It is desired that no light from $S$ should pass through the segment $AB$. The region in which $S$ must be present to satisfy this condition is shown by the shaded region. Choose the correct option.

$A$ ray of light from a denser medium strikes a rarer medium. The angle of reflection is $r$ and that of refraction is $r'$. The reflected and refracted rays make an angle of $90^{\circ}$ with each other. The critical angle will be
