उत्तर
When a ray of light travels from denser to rarer medium it bends away from the normal.

Which colour of light has a higher critical angle? Red light or green light.
Write the relation between the refractive index and critical angle for a given pair of optical media?
If a ray of light passes from medium I to medium II without any change of direction, what can be said about the refractive indices of these media (angle I is not 0)?
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’.
What can you say about the value of the angle of deviation in such a situation?
Complete the following diagram to show the path of the ray of a single colour in the diagram as if enters in and emerges out of the prism. Mark the angles wherever necessary. (Critical angle for glass = 42°).

What is a mirage? How does it occur?
Write any two uses of total internal reflection.
A ray of light passes through a prism of refractive index `sqrt2` as shown in the figure. Find:

- The angle of incidence (∠r2) at face AC.
- The angle of minimum deviation for this prism.
