प्रश्न
Express the refractive index μ of a medium in terms of the angle of incidence i in air and the angle of refraction r in a denser medium.

उत्तर
If light travels from air into another denser medium, the refractive index ‘μ’ of the medium.
`μ="Sine of the angle of incidence in air"/"Sine of the angle of refraction in the denser medium"`
`μ=sin i/sin r`

State two conditions necessary for total internal reflection to occur.
Draw diagram to illustrate the total internal reflection.
The observation made by Swarali while doing the experiment is given below. Based on these write answers to the questions:
Swarali found that the light ray travelling from the denser medium to rarer medium goes away from the normal. If the angle of incidence (i) is raised by Swarali, the angle of refraction (r) went on increasing. However, after certain value of the angle of incidence the light ray is seen to return back into the denser medium.
Questions:
- What is the specific value of∠i called?
- What is the process of reflection of incident rays into denser medium called?
- Draw the diagrams of three observations made by Swarali.
