Light travels a distance '$x$' in time '$t_0$' in air and '$4x$' in time '$t_1$' in another denser medium. The critical angle for this medium is

The phenomenon utilised in an optical fibre is

Why is the brilliance of a diamond observed?

Explain the principle,construction,and working of an optical fibre.

Consider a glass cube slab of dielectric bound by the planes $x=0, x=a$; $y=0, y=b$; $z=0, z=c$; with $b > a > c$. The slab is placed in air and has a refractive index of $n$. The minimum value for $n$,such that all rays entering the dielectric at $y=0$ reach $y=b$ is

The figure shows a transparent block of side lengths $a$ and $a$. The third dimension of the block is negligible. $A$ point source $S$,which can emit light in all directions,can move inside the block. It is desired that no light from $S$ should pass through the segment $AB$. The region in which $S$ must be present to satisfy this condition is shown by the shaded region. Choose the correct option.
