प्रश्न
Images formed by totally reflecting prisms are brighter than the image formed by ordinary reflected light, why?
Advertisements
उत्तर
This is because in total internal reflection 100% of incident light gets reflected. On the other hand, in ordinary reflection, 20% to 30% of incident light is lost. So, images formed in the first case are brighter than the images formed in the second case.
