उत्तर
In the figure, ray 1 strikes the surface at an angle less than critical angle c and gets refracted in rear medium. Ray 2 strikes the surface making an angle greater than the critical angle and gets internally reflected. The locus of points where ray strikes at critical angle is a circle called circle of illuminance (C.O.I). All light rays striking inside the circle of illuminance get refracted in the rarer medium. If an observer is in the rear medium, he/she will see light coming out only from within the circle of illuminance. If a circular opaque plate covers the circle of illuminance, no light will get refracted in the rarer medium and then the object cannot be seen from the rarer medium.
In figure, O is a small dot at the bottom of the jar. The ray from the dot emerges out of a circular patch of water surface of diameter AB till the angle of incidence for the rays OA and OB exceeds the critical angle (iC).
Rays of light incident at an angle greater than iC, are totally reflected within the water and consequently cannot emerge out of the water surface.
As `sin i_C = 1/mu` ⇒ `tan i_C = 1/sqrt(mu^2 - 1)`
Now, `(d/2)/h = tan i_c`
⇒ `d/2 = h tan i_c = h 1/sqrt(mu^2 - 1)`
⇒ `d = (2h)/sqrt(mu^2 - 1)`
This is the required expression of d.

Swarali has got the following observations while doing an experiment. Answer her questions with the help of observations.
Swarali observed that the light bent away from the normal, while travelling from dense medium to rarer medium. When Swarali increased the values of angle of incidence (i), the values of angle of refraction (r) went on increasing. But at a certain angle of incidence, the light rays returned into the dense medium.
So, Swarali has some questions. Answer them –
a) Name this certain value of ‘i ’. What is the value of ‘r’ at that time ?
b) Name this process of returning of light in dense medium. Explain the process.
