| 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. |
A point source of light is placed at the bottom of a tank filled with water, of refractive index µ, to a depth d. The area of the surface of water through which light from the source can emerge is:
विकल्प
`(π"d"^2)/(2(µ^2 - 1))`
`(π"d"^2)/((µ^2 - 1))`
`(π"d"^2)/(sqrt2 sqrt(µ^2 - 1))`
`(2π"d"^2)/((µ^2 - 1))`

उत्तर
`bb(("πd"^2)/((µ^2 - 1)))`
Explanation:
r = d tan θc
sin θc = `1/µ`
∴ cos θc = `sqrt(1 - 1/µ^2)`
∴ r = `"d"(1//µ)/(sqrt(µ^2 - 1)/µ) = "d"/sqrt(µ^2 - 1)`
∴ area = πr2 = `(π"d"^2)/(µ^2 - 1)`

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?
In the original Fizeau method, the light travelled 8.6 km and then returned. What could be the difficulty if this distance is taken as 8.6 m?

Which of the following methods can be used to measure the speed of light in water?
In an experiment with Foucault's apparatus, the various distances used are as follows:
Distance between the rotating and the fixed mirror = 16 m
Distance between the lens and the rotating mirror = 6 m,
Distance between the source and the lens = 2 m.
When the mirror is rotated at a speed of 356 revolutions per second, the image shifts by 0.7 mm. Calculate the speed of light from these data.
