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.

उत्तर
For total internal reflection to happen at AC face, `sin theta >= mu_"water"/mu_"prism" = "4/3"/"3/2" = 8/9 = 0.89` where, θ is angle of incidence.
Now from the figure, we can see that angle of incidence will be 60 degrees.
So `sin 60 = sqrt3/2 = 0.866` which is less than 0.89
So total internal reflection will not take place at the face AC

One day Chetan’s mother developed a severe stomach ache all of a sudden. She was rushed to the doctor who suggested for an immediate endoscopy test and gave an estimate of expenditure for the same. Chetan immediately contacted his class teacher and shared the information with her. The class teacher arranged for the money and rushed to the hospital. On realizing that Chetan belonged to a below average income group family, even the doctor offered concession for the test fee. The test was conducted successfully.
Answer the following questions based on the above information:
