Sunaina Gupta 8 years ago

n= 1/sinC = 1/sin45° = √2 Therefore speed of light in vaccum = speed of light in air/n = 3×10^8/1.414 = 2.121×10^8 m/s The critical angle depends on the index of refraction. The index of refraction can depend on the wavelength (color) of the light; this phenomenon is called dispersion. So yes, in a material with dispersion, the critical angle can depend on color.
