JEE Main 2022 · 25 Jun · Shift 1, Physics question 44

A light wave travelling linearly in a medium of dielectric constant 4, incidents on the horizontal interface separating medium with air. The angle of incidence for which the total intensity of incident wave will be reflected back into the same medium will be :

(Given : relative permeability of medium μr=1\mu_r=1)

Choose one option
Answer and worked solution

Official answer: D

Refractive index. n=εrμr=2n=\sqrt{\varepsilon_r\mu_r}=2, so the critical angle is sin⁡−112=30°\sin^{-1}\frac12=30°.

Total reflection needs i>30°i>30°: of the options, 60°.

(D)
