A beam of light consisting of red, green and blue is incident on a right-angled prism as shown in figure. The refractive index of the material of the prism for the above red, green and blue colours are 1.39, 1.44 and 1.47 respectively. What are the colours suffer total internal reflection?

उत्तर
i > c ∴ i = 45°
`mu = 1/(sin "c")`
sin c = `1/mu`
- Red-
`"C"_"R" = sin^-1 (1/mu)`
`= sin^-1 (1/1.39)`
CR ≈ 46°
i = 45°
i < CR
- Green-
`"C"_"G" = sin^-1 (1/mu)`
`= sin^-1 (1/1.44)`
CG ≈ 44°
i = 45°
i > CG
- Blue-
`"C"_"B" = sin^-1 (1/mu)`
`= sin^-1 (1/1.47)`
CG ≈ 43°
i = 45°
i > CB
Green and blue suffer total internal reflection.

Consider Galileo's method of measuring the speed of light using two lanterns. To get an accuracy of about 10%, the time taken by the experimenter in closing or opening the shutter should be about one tenth of the time taken by the light in going from one experimenter to the other. Assume that it takes 1/100 second for an experimenter to close or open the shutter. How far should the two experimenters be to get a 10% accuracy? What are the difficulties in having this separation?
What is the advantage of using a polygonal mirror with larger number of faces in Michelson method of measuring the speed of light?

Which of the following methods can be used to measure the speed of light in water?
In a Michelson experiment for measuring speed of light, the distance travelled by light between two reflections from the rotating mirror is 4.8 km. The rotating mirror has a shape of a regular octagon. At what minimum angular speed of the mirror (other than zero) the image is formed at the position where a nonrotating mirror forms it?

When a biconvex lens of glass having refractive index 1.47 is dipped in a liquid, it acts as a plane sheet of glass. This implies that the liquid must have refractive index.
An air bubble in a glass slab of refractive index 1.5 (near normal incidence) is 5 cm deep when viewed from one surface and 3 cm deep when viewed from the opposite face. The thickness of the slab is ______.
| A ray of light travels from a denser to a rarer medium. After refraction, it bends away from the normal. When we keep increasing the angle of incidence, the angle of refraction also increases till the refracted ray grazes along the interface of two media. The angle of incidence for which it happens is called critical angle. If the angle of incidence is increased further the ray will not emerge and it will be reflected back in the denser medium. This phenomenon is called total internal reflection of light. |
The critical angle for a pair of two media A and B of refractive indices 2.0 and 1.0 respectively is:
A ray of light of wavelength 600 nm propagates from air into a medium. If its wavelength in the medium becomes 400 nm, the refractive index of the medium is ______.
