Answer:
The relationship between critical angle and refractive index can be mathematically written as –
Where,
Where,C is the critical angle.
Where,C is the critical angle.μ is the refractive index of the medium.
Where,C is the critical angle.μ is the refractive index of the medium.a and b represent two medium in which light ray travels.

\frac{sin\;i}{sin\;r}=\frac{\mu _{a}}{\mu _{b}}
[ tex]\Rightarrow \mu _{b}sinC=\mu _{a}sin90^{0} [/tex]
[ tex]\Rightarrow \frac{\mu _{b}}{\mu _{a}}=\frac{1}{sinC} [/tex]
