$A$ glass prism $(\mu = 1.5)$ is dipped in water $(_a\mu_w = 4/3)$ as shown in the figure. $A$ light ray is incident normally on the surface $AB$. It reaches the surface $BC$ after being totally internally reflected at the surface $AC$,if:

  • A
    $\sin \theta \ge 8/9$
  • B
    $2/3 < \sin \theta < 8/9$
  • C
    $\sin \theta \le 2/3$
  • D
    It is not possible

Two transparent media $A$ and $B$ are separated by a plane boundary. The speed of light in those media are $1.5 \times 10^{8} \ m/s$ and $2.0 \times 10^{8} \ m/s$,respectively. The critical angle for a ray of light for these two media is:

White light is incident on the interface of glass and air as shown in the figure. If green light is just totally internally reflected,then the reflected rays inside the glass contain:

On the hypotenuse of a right-angled prism $(30^{\circ}-60^{\circ}-90^{\circ})$ with a refractive index of $1.50$,a drop of liquid is placed as shown in the figure. Light is allowed to fall normally on the short face of the prism. In order for the ray of light to undergo total internal reflection at the hypotenuse,what is the maximum value of the refractive index of the liquid?

Assertion: The refractive index of diamond is $\sqrt{6}$ and that of liquid is $\sqrt{3}$. If the light travels from diamond to the liquid,it will be totally internally reflected when the angle of incidence is $30^{\circ}$.
Reason: $\mu = \frac{1}{\sin C}$,where $\mu$ is the refractive index of diamond with respect to the liquid.

The critical angle for light going from medium $A$ into medium $B$ is $\theta$. The speed of light in medium $A$ is $V_A$. What is the speed of light in medium $B$?
