उत्तर
Speed of light in the medium =`\text { Speed of light in air}/ text { Refractive index of the medium with respet to air}`
`=(3 xx 10^8 m/s)/(1/(sin30°)`
`= (3 xx 10^8 m/s)/2`
`=1.5 xx 10^8m/s`

State the relation between the critical angle and the absolute refractive index of a medium.
Swarali has got the following observations while doing an experiment. Answer her questions with the help of observations.
Swarali observed that the light bent away from the normal, while travelling from dense medium to rarer medium. When Swarali increased the values of angle of incidence (i), the values of angle of refraction (r) went on increasing. But at a certain angle of incidence, the light rays returned into the dense medium.
So, Swarali has some questions. Answer them –
a) Name this certain value of ‘i ’. What is the value of ‘r’ at that time ?
b) Name this process of returning of light in dense medium. Explain the process.
