Explain ‘mirage’ as an illustration of refraction.

Answer the following question.

Under what conditions are total internal reflection possible? Explain it with a suitable example.

Answer the following question.

Define the critical angle of incidence and obtain an expression for it.

Describe the construction and working of an optical fibre.

Answer the following question.

What are the advantages of optical fibre communication over electronic communication?

Answer the following question.

Why is prism binoculars preferred over traditional binoculars? Describe its working in brief.

Solve Numerical example.

A monochromatic ray of light is incident at 37° on an equilateral prism of refractive index 3/2. Determine angle of emergence and angle of deviation. If angle of prism is adjustable, what should its value be for emergent rays to be just possible for the same angle of incidence?

Solve Numerical example.

From the given data set, determine angular dispersion by the prism and dispersive power of its material for extreme colours. n_R = 1.62 n_V = 1.66, δ_R = 3.1°
