$A$ beam of light is incident from air on the surface of a liquid. The angle of incidence is $\theta$ and the angle of refraction is $\alpha$. If the critical angle for the liquid when surrounded by air is $\theta_c$,then $\sin \theta_c$ is:

  • A
    $\frac{\sin \alpha}{\sin \theta}$
  • B
    $\sin \alpha \times \sin \theta$
  • C
    $\frac{\sin \theta}{\sin \alpha}$
  • D
    $\frac{\sin \alpha}{\cos \theta}$

Where can the phenomenon of total internal reflection be observed?

Total internal reflection is possible when light rays travel:

$A$ beam of light consisting of red,green and blue colours is incident on a right-angled prism on face $AB$. The refractive indices of the material for the above red,green and blue colours are $1.39, 1.44$ and $1.47$ respectively. $A$ person looking on surface $AC$ of the prism will see

$A$ planar structure of length $L$ and width $W$ is made of two different optical media of refractive indices $n_1=1.5$ and $n_2=1.44$ as shown in the figure. If $L \gg W$,a ray entering from end $AB$ will emerge from end $CD$ only if the total internal reflection condition is met inside the structure. For $L = 9.6 \ m$,if the incident angle $\theta$ is varied,the maximum time taken by a ray to exit the plane $CD$ is $t \times 10^{-9} \ s$,where $t$ is. . . . . . .

$A$ ray of light travels from a medium of refractive index $\mu$ to air. Its angle of incidence in the medium is $i$,measured from the normal to the boundary,and its angle of deviation is $\delta$. If $\delta$ is plotted against $i$,which of the following best represents the resulting curve?
