Snell’s Law Special Cases
μ1 Sin i = μ2 Sin r
r
μ2 Rarer
Since μ2 < μ1 i.e. sin i < sin r ⇒ i < r
μ1 Denser

Example If the critical angle for total internal reflection from a medium
to vacuum is 30°, the velocity of light in the medium is
Ans : B
Example The velocity of light in a medium is half its velocity in air. If ray
of light emerges from such a medium into air, the angle of
incidence, at which it will be totally internally reflected, is
