$A$ beam of light consists of red,green,and blue colors. It is incident on the $AB$ face of a right-angled prism as shown in the figure. The refractive indices for red,green,and blue colors are $1.39$,$1.44$,and $1.47$ respectively. What will a person see when looking at the $AC$ surface of the prism?

  • A
    Red and green colors
  • B
    No light
  • C
    Green and blue colors
  • D
    Only red color

Light enters at an angle of incidence $\alpha$ into a transparent rod of refractive index $n.$ For what value of the refractive index of the material of the rod will the light,once entered into it,not leave it through its lateral face,regardless of the value of the angle of incidence $\alpha$?

$A$ point source of light $S$ is placed at the bottom of a vessel containing a liquid of refractive index $\mu = 5/3$. $A$ person is viewing the source from above the surface. There is an opaque disc $D$ of radius $r = 1\, cm$ floating on the surface of the liquid. The centre of the disc lies vertically above the source $S$. The liquid from the vessel is gradually drained out through a tap. The maximum height $h$ of the liquid for which the source cannot be seen at all from above is: (in $, cm$)
