A transparent solid cylindrical rod has a refractive index of . It is surrounded by air. A light ray is incident at the mid point of one end of the rod. The incident angle for which the light ray grazes along the wall of the rod is:

- A
- B
- C
- D
Solution & Step-by-step Explanation

For the ray to graze the wall, the angle of incidence at the wall must be the critical angle .
The angle of refraction at the entry surface is .Using Snell's Law at the entry:
