प्रश्न
In the following figure, show two rays A and B travelling from water to air. If the critical angle for water- air surface is 48°, complete the ray diagram showing the refracted rays for each. State conditions when the ray will suffer total internal reflection.

उत्तर
The necessary conditions for total internal reflection to occur are
- Light must travel from a denser medium to a rarer medium.
- The angle of incidence must be greater than the critical angle.
In this case, the angle of incidence. ∠ i > 48°
APPEARS IN

How does a ray of light bend when it travels from when it is normal to the interface of the two media.
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.
State two advantages of using a right-angle prism as a reflector, rather than a plane mirror.
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°).
