Which colour of light has a higher critical angle? Red light or green light.
Solve the previous problem if the paperweight is inverted at its place so that the spherical surface touches the paper.
The observation made by Swarali while doing the experiment is given below. Based on these write answers to the questions:
Swarali found that the light ray travelling from the denser medium to rarer medium goes away from the normal. If the angle of incidence (i) is raised by Swarali, the angle of refraction (r) went on increasing. However, after certain value of the angle of incidence the light ray is seen to return back into the denser medium.
Questions:
- What is the specific value of∠i called?
- What is the process of reflection of incident rays into denser medium called?
- Draw the diagrams of three observations made by Swarali.
Write down the relationship between the critical angle and the refractive index of the medium.

Which of the following statements about total internal reflection is true?
What is the phenomenon used in optical fiber? Explain.
- Assertion (A): Propagation of light through an optical fibre is due to total internal reflection taking place at the core-cladding interface.
- Reason (R): Refractive index of the material of the cladding of the optical fibre is greater than that of the core.
State two differences between normal reflection and total internal reflection.
