refraction
angular dispersion
angular deviation
total internal reflection

उत्तर
Angular deviation
Explanation:
A rainbow is created when raindrops that are suspended in the air scatter sunlight. We perceive a rainbow because of the way light refracts when it enters a raindrop, total internal reflection from the rear of the droplet surface, and further refracted out in the atmosphere. So all the given processes, i.e., total internal reflection, refraction, and dispersion, take place in the rainbow formation. Angular deviation of light doesn't occur in the formation of a rainbow.

One day Chetan’s mother developed a severe stomach ache all of a sudden. She was rushed to the doctor who suggested for an immediate endoscopy test and gave an estimate of expenditure for the same. Chetan immediately contacted his class teacher and shared the information with her. The class teacher arranged for the money and rushed to the hospital. On realizing that Chetan belonged to a below average income group family, even the doctor offered concession for the test fee. The test was conducted successfully.
Answer the following questions based on the above information:
(a) Which principle in optics is made use of in endoscopy?
(b) Briefly explain the values reflected in the action taken by the teacher.
(c) In what way do you appreciate the response of the doctor on the given situation?
Calculate the speed of light in a medium whose critical angle is 30° ?
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.
Total internal reflection can take place only if ______.
