A light ray travelling in glass medium is incident on glass-air interface at an angle of incidence$	heta$. The reflected $(R)$ and transmitted $(T)$ intensities, both as function of $	heta,\ $are plotted. The correct sketch is

(c) After critical angle reflection will be 100% and transmission is 0 %. Options (b) and (c) satisfy this condition. But option (c) is the correct option. Because in option (b) transmission is given 100% at $	heta\  = \ 0{^\circ},$ which is not true
$	herefore$ Correct answer is (c).
