Question

A ray of light travels from an optically denser to a rarer medium. The critical angle for the two media is C. The maximum possible deviation of the ray will be (A) (π/2)-C (B) 2 C (C) π - 2 C (D) π - C

When i1 > C, deviation is maximum , Here d = π - 2C

Q. A ray of light travels from an optically denser to a rarer medium. The critical angle for the two media is C. The maximum possible deviation of the ray will be

$\frac{π}{2} - C$

2 C

$π - 2 C$

$π - C$

When $i_{1}$ > C, deviation is maximum , Here d = $π$ - 2C

Q. A ray of light travels from an optically denser to a rarer medium. The critical angle for the two media is C. The maximum possible deviation of the ray will be

2π​−C

2 C

π−2C

π−C

When i1​ > C, deviation is maximum , Here d = π - 2C

$\frac{π}{2} - C$

$π - 2 C$

$π - C$

When $i_{1}$ > C, deviation is maximum , Here d = $π$ - 2C
