    $\sin^{-1}(n_2/n_1)$
  • B
    $\sin^{-1}\sqrt{n_1^2 - n_2^2}$

$A$ rectangular glass slab $ABCD$,of refractive index $n_1$,is immersed in water of refractive index $n_2$ $(n_1 > n_2)$. $A$ ray of light is incident at the surface $AB$ of the slab as shown. The maximum value of the angle of incidence $\alpha_{max}$,such that the ray comes out only from the other surface $CD$,is given by

$A$ ray of light travelling in a transparent medium falls on a surface separating the medium from air at an angle of incidence of $45^\circ$. The ray undergoes total internal reflection. If $n$ is the refractive index of the medium with respect to air,select the possible value$(s)$ of $n$ from the following:

As shown,a narrow beam of light is incident onto a semi-circular glass cylinder of radius $R.$ Light can exit the cylinder when the beam is at the centre. When the beam is moved parallel to a distance $d$ from the central line,no light can exit the cylinder from its lower surface. Find the refractive index of the glass.
