A beam of light consisting of red, green and blue is incident on a right-angled prism as shown in figure. The refractive index of the material of the prism for the above red, green and blue colours are 1.39, 1.44 and 1.47 respectively. What are the colours suffer total internal reflection?

उत्तर
i > c ∴ i = 45°
`mu = 1/(sin "c")`
sin c = `1/mu`
- Red-
`"C"_"R" = sin^-1 (1/mu)`
`= sin^-1 (1/1.39)`
CR ≈ 46°
i = 45°
i < CR
- Green-
`"C"_"G" = sin^-1 (1/mu)`
`= sin^-1 (1/1.44)`
CG ≈ 44°
i = 45°
i > CG
- Blue-
`"C"_"B" = sin^-1 (1/mu)`
`= sin^-1 (1/1.47)`
CG ≈ 43°
i = 45°
i > CB
Green and blue suffer total internal reflection.

| A ray of light travels from a denser to a rarer medium. After refraction, it bends away from the normal. When we keep increasing the angle of incidence, the angle of refraction also increases till the refracted ray grazes along the interface of two media. The angle of incidence for which it happens is called critical angle. If the angle of incidence is increased further the ray will not emerge and it will be reflected back in the denser medium. This phenomenon is called total internal reflection of light. |
