The critical angle for glass-air is 45° for the light of yellow colour. State whether it will be less than, equal to, or more than 45° for (i) ref light, (ii) blue light?

उत्तर
As the wavelength decreases (or increases) refractive index becomes more (or less) and critical angle becomes less (or more).
(i) For red light the critical angle will be more than 45° and
(ii) For blue light the critical angle will be less than 45°.

What should be the ratio of the speed of light through the liquid to the speed through the glass so that there is no refraction of light at the boundaries of the glass block when the system is illuminated by the light of one colour?
In the diagram below, PQ is a ray of light incident on a rectangular glass block.

How are the angles ‘i’ and ‘e’ related to each other?
A ray of monochromatic light is incident from the air on a glass slab:
(i) Draw a labelled ray diagram showing the change in the path of the ray till it emerges from the glass slab.
(ii) Name the two rays that are parallel to each other.
(iii) Mark the lateral displacement in your diagram.
The diagram shows the path of a ray of light through a rectangular glass block placed in a liquid of uniform density.

Show with the help of a ray diagram the path of the ray when incident ray normally falls on the first surface of the glass block and passes through the block and the liquid.
