Question

define critical angle of medium. calculate the critical angle of diamond of refractive index 2.42​

Answer 1

Explanation:

Here, n air is the refractive index of air, sinθ(air)is the angle of incidence, n d is the refractive index of diamond and sinC is the critical angle. 1⋅1=2.42sinCsinC=12.42C=24.4∘. Thus, the critical angle for diamond is24.4∘.
