The speed of light in media $M_1$ and $M_2$ are $1.5 \times 10^8 \ m/s$ and $2.0 \times 10^8 \ m/s$ respectively. $A$ ray of light enters from medium $M_1$ to $M_2$ at an incidence angle $i$. If the ray suffers total internal reflection,the value of $i$ is

  • A
    $= \sin^{-1}(2/3)$
  • B
    $< \sin^{-1}(3/5)$
  • C
    $> \sin^{-1}(3/4)$
  • D
    $< \sin^{-1}(2/3)$

$A$ light wave travelling linearly in a medium of dielectric constant $4$ is incident on the horizontal interface separating the medium from air. The angle of incidence for which the total intensity of the incident wave will be reflected back into the same medium is (Given: relative permeability of the medium $\mu_{r} = 1$) (in $^{\circ}$)

Three rays of light,namely red $(R)$,green $(G)$ and blue $(B)$ are incident on the face $PQ$ of a right-angled prism $PQR$ as shown in the figure. The refractive indices of the material of the prism for red,green and blue wavelengths are $1.27$,$1.42$ and $1.49$ respectively. The colour of the ray$(s)$ emerging out of the face $PR$ is:
