उत्तर
Given,
Light falls from glass to air.
Refractive index (μ) of glass = 1.5
Critical angle (θc)
\[= \sin^{- 1} \left( \frac{1}{\mu} \right)\]
\[= \sin^{- 1} \left( \frac{1}{1 . 5} \right) = 41 . 80\]
We know that the maximum attainable angle of deviation in refraction is (90° − 41.8°)
= 47.2°
In this case, total internal reflection must have taken place.
In reflection,
Deviation = 180° − 2i = 90°
⇒ 2i = 90°
⇒ i = 45°
Hence, the required angle of incidence is 45°.

To a distant observer, the light appears to be coming from somewhere below the ground. The observer naturally assumes that light is being reflected from the ground, say, by a pool of water near the tall object. Such inverted images of distant tall objects cause an optical illusion to the observer. This phenomenon is called mirage. This type of mirage is especially common in hot deserts. Based on the above facts, answer the following question : |
