- At the interface between two materials having refractive indices \( n_1 \) and \( n_2 \), the critical angle for reflection of an EM wave is \( \theta_c \). The \( n_1 \) material is replaced by another material having refractive index \( n_3 \), such that the critical angle at the interface between \( n_1 \) and \( n_3 \) materials is \( \theta_{c3} \). If \( n_1 > n_2 > n_3 \), \( \frac{n_2}{n_3} = \frac{2}{5} \), and \( \sin \theta_{c2} - \sin \theta_{c1} = \frac{1}{2} \), then \( \theta_{c1} \) is:

Concepts Used:
P-n Junction
A P-N junction is an interface or a boundary between two semiconductor material types, namely the p-type and the n-type, inside a semiconductor.
Biasing conditions for the p-n Junction Diode:
in p-n junction diode two operating regions are there:
- P-type
- N-type
There are three biasing conditions for p-n junction diode are as follows:
- Zero bias: When there is no external voltage applied to the p-n junction diode.
- Forward bias: P-type is connected to positive terminal of the voltage potential while n-type is connected to the negative terminal.
- Reverse bias: P-type is connected to negative terminal of the voltage potential while n-type is connected to the positive terminal.
