Critical angle=π6=30

Explanation:

The equation for critical angle is:
sinC=n1n2, where:

  • C = critical angle
  • n1 = boundary medium
  • n2 = initial medium

In this case n1 is the vacuum as it is the medium acting as a boundary, while n2 is the other medium, as the light is travelling through that medium.

n1=1

sinC=12

C=sin1(12)=π6=30
