Applications Of Reflection Of Light

When a light ray (termed as the incident ray) hits a surface and bounces back (forms a reflected ray), the process of reflection of light has taken place.

Sign Convention for Mirrors

A mirror is made of glass that is coated with a metal amalgam on one side due to which the light ray incident on the surface undergoes reflection and not refraction.

Question

A medium was replaced with another having twice the index of refraction of the first one. What will be the value of the new critical angle?

Group of answer choices

The angle is halved.

The sine of the angle is halved.

The sine of the angle is doubled.

The angle is doubled.
