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.

The speed of sound in air is 332 m s−1. Is it advisable to define the length 1 m as the distance travelled by sound in 1/332 s?
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?
