Name the factors affecting the critical angle for the pair of media.
The figure shows a ray of light falling normally on the face AB of an equilateral glass prism having refractive index`3/2`, placed in water of refractive index `4/3`.Will this ray suffer total internal reflection on striking the face AC? Justify your answer.

State the relation between the critical angle and the absolute refractive index of a medium.
Draw the diagram of a right-angled isosceles prism which is used to make an invented image erect.
Write the necessary conditions for the phenomenon of total internal reflection to
occur ?
Write the relation between the refractive index and critical angle for a given pair of optical media?
Swarali has got the following observations while doing an experiment. Answer her questions with the help of observations.
Swarali observed that the light bent away from the normal, while travelling from dense medium to rarer medium. When Swarali increased the values of angle of incidence (i), the values of angle of refraction (r) went on increasing. But at a certain angle of incidence, the light rays returned into the dense medium.
So, Swarali has some questions. Answer them –
a) Name this certain value of ‘i ’. What is the value of ‘r’ at that time ?
b) Name this process of returning of light in dense medium. Explain the process.
i) Observe the given figure and answer the following questions.
a) Identify and write the natural process shown in the figure.
b) List the phenomena which are observe in this process.
c) Redraw the diagram and show above phenomena in it.

(i) Define critical angle.
(ii) State one important factor which affects the critical angle of a given medium.
How does a ray of light bend when it travels from denser to rarer medium.
Images formed by totally reflecting prisms are brighter than the image formed by ordinary reflected light, why?
A ray of light incident at an angle of incidence ‘i’ passes through an equilateral glass prism such that the refracted ray inside the prism is parallel to its base and emerges from the prism at an angle of emergence ‘e’.
How is the angle of emergence ‘e’ related to the angle of incidence ‘i’?
State one factor on which a critical angle for a given pair of media depends. The critical angle for the glass-air interface is 45° for the yellow light. Will it be equal to, less than or greater than 45° for (i) red light, (ii) blue light?
Draw a diagram, properly labelled, to illustrate the use of a total reflecting prism (a right-angled isosceles prism) to turn a ray of light through 180°. Name an instrument in which this device is used.
