Consider light travelling from a medium $A$ to medium $B$ separated by a plane interface. If the light undergoes total internal reflection during its travel from medium $A$ to $B$ and the speed of light in media $A$ and $B$ are $2.4 \times 10^8 \ m/s$ and $2.7 \times 10^8 \ m/s$ respectively, then the value of critical angle is:

$A$ point source $S$ is placed at the bottom of different layers as shown in the figure. The refractive index of the bottom-most layer is $\mu_0$. The refractive index of any other upper layer is $\mu(n) = \mu_0 - \frac{\mu_0}{4n - 18}$,where $n = 1, 2, \dots$. $A$ ray of light with an angle of incidence $i$ slightly more than $30^\circ$ starts from the source $S$. Total internal reflection takes place at the upper surface of a layer having $n$ equal to

$A$ ray of light is incident normally on one face of a right-angled isosceles prism. It then grazes the hypotenuse. The refractive index of the material of the prism is
